Hello, Ellen-Marie
I appreciate your comment.
I do not think my comment is incompatible with Walt's, and I hope he will see this thread and I hope he will chime in.
Walt said that his swimming coach "was a great man (who) cared about us and knew about training. I think the sentiments expressed in my post will make the SLP care about PWS, and will help them know about training.
Walt said his coach "modeled for us...." WOW !! Yes indeed. I am convinced that clinicians need to be able to model for their clients. They can do this by modeling stuttering, and by modeling the targets and techniques of fluency shaping and stuttering modification.
I would submit that whle there may be some clinicians who can be effective, the things I tried to suggest in my post will make them even even more effective.
I hope we hear not only from Walt, but from others as well. We might also hear from others who are not actually professors on this panel. I suspect that there are lots of people who hold opinions on this.
Thanks for your reply.
