Th above comment is very accurate. “Communication is not defined by fluency. AND, as long as it is, you will not dream, you will not speak, and you will not live your life to the fullest.” “Speaking fluently, or being fluent, means saying what you want to say, when you want to say it” Successful speech therapy for stuttering very rarely addresses the disruptions in speech and instead focuses on changing the person’s attitudes and feelings regarding communication. It has tremendous success. Not only does the person feel good about communication, but the moments of stuttering and severity of stuttering behaviors decrease!
