Joe, This is great technique! Thanks for encouraging us to enjoy the therapy process. The work and play done by Friends and NSA at conventions and Youth Days is a reflection of this same kind of thinking. The power of participation in those events is often just what you describe; that kids, including those skeptical adolescents, discover they are enjoying themselves. And, as I remember it, at my first NSP convention John Ahlbach introduced the kids to juggling. It appears this activity has a time-honored tradition in stuttering therapy! Thanks for contributing these ideas. Too bad I'm coordination challenged.
Susan
