"The goal of speech therapy" for someone seeking relief from a stuttering problem . . . Sounds like a conference theme to me. Smile.

Thanks for the opportunity to dialogue on some important issues regarding to treatment, not the least of which is recognizing that words do matter. Much like Adam, the first human in the Judeo-Christian bible, who named each of the animals and "what he named them, that was what they were called," what we label our experience concretizes it. And it becomes our reality. I think it is healthy for all concerned to appreciate not only the power of speech but the power of language. It co-creates our reality.

Best, Ellen-Marie
