Lynne is correct. I believe that treatment and a successful outcome is more about improving communication than about fluency. They go hand in hand obviously, but I have worked with people who are "fluent" in a technical sense, even somewhat natural in their speaking. But their nonverbal behaviors take away from communication. Finding and developing communication skills and natural ability to interact with others is (or should be) an important part of the change process. Thanks for your post.
