In reading your article there are several theorists mentioned as contributors to what is known today as the culture of stuttering. I think that your article truly gives a brief and concise view into the world of stuttering. Your article allows one to understand the importance of giving recognition to all of the influential researchers that have uncovered the multidimensional, complex nature of stuttering. I enjoyed your appreciation for the evolution of the stuttering community and its impact on the general society of non-stutterers. Your article allowed me to further understand the eclectic nature of stuttering and the progression towards exploring new ideas and approaches that continue to be helpful in the intervention of people who stutter. My question is, out of the theorists that were mentioned in your article, whom do you perceive to be the most influential within the culture of stuttering? Also, is there a particular theory that you believe caters more to the multidimensional aspects of stuttering?
