Ann Marie,

<<Do you believe that people who stutter can ever really be "cured" or is it always a work in progress? >>

I know many people, including myself, who have been "cured." But I think that "cured" is the wrong term to use. That's because it order for my speech to change, I had to change. Perhaps it makes better sense to say that one evolves out of stuttering. It happens a little bit at a time, and the changes involve the entire person.
