SLP and PWS here. We need to stop sending conflicting messages. I see MANY SLPs embrace the counseling, acceptance and social/emotional aspects of stuttering therapy, then tell the student, “okay let’s work on stuttering modification or fluency shaping techniques” Pushing acceptance, then shaming and trying to get rid of stuttering is not the right play. We need to teach the acceptance portion along with how to stutter easier. Stuttering will always be there, we can teach how to manage it in a positive light. Also there is NEVER a reason to do a fluency count EVER!
