I agree that there needs to be more awareness. I'd expect an SLP who specializes in stuttering to possess that awareness. Many generalist SLPs do not have the awareness, I agree, in part because academic programs cannot teach everything about every disorder.

SLPs can do continuing education to increase their knowledge and understanding about stuttering. As states move to CE requirements for licensure, and when the requirements for the CCC-SLP will require CE after 1/1/2005, there will be more and more continuing ed. opportunities in fluency (as well as in other areas).

I guess I'm not sure what you mean about "regulating stuttering behaviors."

I hope this helps.
