Thanks for posting. And challenging at least some of the therapists go to tactics and ideas. I have serious questions problems and issues with speech therapy specifically stuttering therapy and how it perpetuates its self and discourages discussion and ignores the stutters perception of what's going on and dismisses any feedback that contradicts what they learned in school. If therapists are going to tell small children that they are breathing incorrectly then they need to be damn sure that they have an alternative that they can really teach and really follow up on to make sure they didn't do more harm than good.
