Hi Bernie,

Thanks. I think your idea of having more people who stutter speak to students in training programs is on target. That will no doubt help. But I also believe that training programs are at fault for letting training in stuttering wain over the past couple of decades.

Students in training need more contact with people who stutter, especially those who have learned to manage it in their lives. They also need more *experience* in working with stutterers at every age level.
