It is relatively easy to decrease stuttering behaviour in clients during therapy, especially intesice therapy.

However, the maintenance of more fluent speech is a challenge for many people who stutter.

In your experience, what causes fluency skills to decline and what can be done to prevent or minimize this process. Specifically, is the decline in fluency primarily related to: 1) the nature of stuttering itself, 2) the nature of the social environment (the importance attached to fluency in communication), 3) the type of therapy, 4) individual characteristics of people who stutter (age, etc.), 5) other factors.

Thanks and cheers, Tom Klassen
