I am a second-year graduate student at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. I have never had the opportunity to work with a person who stutters. However, it seems that this article could easily apply to all speech disorders, especially those experienced by children. In regards to the 80% of children you mentioned that are not "real" stutterers, but are only experiencing a short period of dysfluency, I have two questions: 1) What are the chances that those children began experiencing dysfluency after constant correction of articulation errors? 2)What percentage of those children do you think become "real" stutterers because of listener reaction? Thanks for your wonderful article!
