Hi Judy,
Congratulations on compiling such a comprehensive summary of resource material for speech-language pathologists. It will, of course, also prove to be of assistance to others associated with stuttering.
Would it not be advantageous for SLPs to seek membership of one (or more) of the stuttering-related Internet groups?
As you are aware, they provide a useful insight into the problems/experiences encountered by persons who stutter, family and friends etc. In addition to the usual email interaction, many make available facilities for voice/text chat (on a group or individual basis) and allow access to papers/case files submitted by members.
I note that your paper (which specifically relates to the treatment of stuttering in respect of children) does, in fact, refer SLPs to the listserv specifically designed for persons under the age of 20 years. However, it occurred to me that the composition of the general groups is so diverse that SLPs might derive benefit by association with their members.
Kindest regards
Alan Badmington
