Hello! Thank you for providing such an interesting article. It is proof that counseling can play a large role in fluency therapy. While reading your article, I kept thinking about desensitization. It seems that the technique you described includes the use of desensitization to difficult speaking situations. Am I on track with this idea? Also, you suggested that an intermediate step may be to substitute another behavior for the habitual behavior. In substituting another behavior, could this possibly cause the client to keep adding behaviors to their routine? Thanks again for your article...and your link to your student page. :)
