Comments

There was recently a post on Stutt-L about an SLP who has just now begun to get over his "fear" of treating people who stutter. What is it that scares some SLPs away from working with a person who stutters. While passing out literature at the Michigan Speech and Hearing Association Conference this year, I overheard one SLP say that she "just can't handle people who stutter." Anybody care to comment on what people who stutter can do to help SLPs get over that "fear." I know that I have probably driven a few Speech Pathologists over the edge. :-)
