My Fluency course work at the Graduate level focuses heavily on the attitdues and feelings of the individual who stutters, and how important it is to incorporate them into therapy. Your article is a nice resource, that not only supports the numerous components of a successful intervention program, but offers helpful suggestions for incorporating awareness and attitudes into intervention. I agree, the counseling component of intervention is a strong aspect that may indeed help us to explore the underlying causes of why the individual may stutter, and what is present in their environmenet that may be maintaing the dysfluencies. Your discussion on awareness, attitudes, and locus of control, helped me to more effectively develop an intervention program for a fluency client that I am currently working with. Very informative!
