The slps who focus on fluency are almost setting you up for failure. They usually teach fluency shaping techniques or some similar techniques for "controlling" how you speak so it's never natural or spontaneous. As if stuttering is so horrible that it must always be vigilantly watched and you need to speak in an alien controlled manner. And if you can't be fluent, guess what? It's your fault. You didnt practice enough or you didnt do this or that or blah blah blah the technique works!!! I think it's a lot better to learn to reduce struggle. We will stutter and we will always be people who stutter. I know people who have been able to attain so much comfort that they hardly have any disfluencies at all, but they still think of themselves as people who stutter and always will. Chasing fluency is a like chasing you're own discomfort. There is another way. I don't put much weight in fluency. I think communication is the important goal. IMO, an SLP should be a communication specialist, not a fluency specialist. Fluency and communication are definitely not the same thing.
