Hello Ms.Duchan,

I was fascinated by your article.

I am studying to become a speech-language therapist, and am currently in a course that focuses on stuttering.

What if a therapist is unwilling to put herself in the role of the stutterer and to go out in public and stutter on purpose, yet she has her her clients take these risks? Would you characterize that as a shady practice?

Thank you,

Cynthia Prince
