I am a graduate SLP student with an interest in fluency. I am very curious to know what you might have to say about the topic of choosing (and not choosing) speech therapy. I know so many people who stutter do not choose to seek therapy and instead use other methods of improving their speech and feelings about it. I wonder if anyone could share some of the past experiences positive or negative with speech therapy that have influenced your decisions regarding whether or not to seek or continue with therapy. I'd also love to know if there are things that people who stutter have wished speech therapists would have done differently, or would have understood about them. I'm hoping to incorporate this information into a presentation with some of my classmates.
