One thing that I would like to point out (as a stutterer) is that, please, do not force onto her the notion that stuttering can be 'cured' - that is a bit damaging to mental health. Growing up, I would be asked to take a deep breath or relax - as if that was causing me to stutter :( . Someone (hell, my general physician!) would ask my parents if I were mentally ill while I stuttered. All my life I have tried to change words while speaking to sound 'more fluent' - I think that an effect of that is that now I have a lisp. The thick of things is that - while changing words at which we stutter, we are making peace with the fact that we cannot speak what we want. The alternative would be to speak what we want despite the stutter. I think changing words is damaging to mental health and self confidence - let you girl not do that! I would like the add that the world is kinder at the (intellectually) elite levels - the professor and researchers in the lab that I intern for do not care about my stutter and listen intently to what I have to deliver. Hell, that was a welcome change from my school days! Adding to that, let not conventional school break her emotionally - I am joining my PhD program at an elite school this fall, and everyone is considerate - it's like I do not even stutter!
