Thanks, Ken, for the comments. The research that we have done here at Maryland does not suggest that you need to model less complex language. The major parental adjustments that tend to reduce the frequency of stutter events somewhat are, as Ken notes, slower conversational pace (rate of speech, increased turn taking latencies, reduction of interrupting behaviors by family members). I agree with everything else that Ken has said, so won't repeat it here, but am happy to pursue additional questions you might have.
