Dear Stepheni, Thanks for the question. I believe I gave the answer to Nicole yesterday that I would write for your question. Please take a look at that. Basically, I believe that asking a client what term they prefer is unnecessary. If the client has a definite preference, she will probably tell you. At that time, you can discuss this issue. But my guess is that if the client does not like the word "stuttering," she will also not much like the term "person who stutters." But, as my paper have illustrate, some stutterers do have preferences. Ken
