Thanks for your question Sheridan
I see two roles 1. diagnosis. determining whether the stutter needs behavioural, emotional or cognitive therapy.
2. guide / counsellor. I feel it is important the therapist have good knowledge of the range of sevices available, always aware that "different strokes suit different folks". I also believe the old saying that "when the student is ready the teacher appears." So if therapy is not progressing then it may be necessary to refer to another practioner.
Good luck
Mark
