**An SLP stated:** So, my own journey… I wanted someone to help me be more fluent. When I read these acceptance arguments, I understand but not fully. Some 20 + years ago, if the SLP would have told me just work on acceptance, I would have gotten up and found another SLP. I desperately wanted someone to show me how to use anything to decrease and/or get through blocks and covert stuttering/word changing. I’d much prefer changing my speech than stutter more. Funny thing is I worked really hard at easy onset and being light on my articulators and achieved much fluency. Wouldn’t trade it for acceptance any day!
