After selecting to read your interesting article, our interest was peaked in finding out more relevant information to apply in our clinical experiences. Specifically, one consideration that you mentioned dealt with eye contact and how in "some" cultures that eye contact is not a sign of inattention or a secondary sign of stuttering as it is in our culture. What we were wondering was what specific cultures does this apply to???? After reading your article we also felt that although these considerations were specific to stuttering, they could also be applied to any aspect of speech and language therapy. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read your information. It definitely will aid us in our numerous experiences that we will encounter in our field- Megan Troop & Erin Lamb
