Tim, I agree with your comment and appreciate you taking the time to respond. Working with the communication environment of children who stutter is, in my opinion, the most efficient way to go. Let me make one observation on what you said. You mentioned "nurturing" parents. I prefer to look at my role as "teaching" parents about stuttering and how to respond appropriately when the child comes to them with issues in the normal course of daily interaction. We can have an experienced clinician and willing parents but if the child does not put into effect what is taught then overt speech change will not take place. Best wishes to you.
