As a graduate student, I think it is very important that we properly inform our clients that every PWS is different and there is no guaranteed cure for stuttering. However, there are techniques that can be taught to make the stuttering less severe. I am just curious, do you know many PWS who fall into this "trap of hope" and are they not educated that cures don't just happen overnight? Also, is there any type of false advertising tag that can be placed on these websites? As speech pathologists we advocate for our clients. What can we do to help protect them from these scams?
