Yes, most are very well meaning good people, but so what? <BR/><BR/>ASHA currently does not mandate any clinical work in stuttering for graduate students in speech pathology. Perhaps some SLPs are questioning this behind the scenes, but I have seen no criticism of this publically. Of course, the stuttering community has not done it's job either. Even the NSA (an organization for stutterers) has done nothing. The NSA has chosen to intertwine themselves with the SLP community instead of challenging and asking the tough questions about the current state of stuttering therapy.<BR/><BR/>It is a very unfortunate situation which does not seem to be getting better.<BR/><BR/>AdrianAdrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17637940949560873816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-32761695296672437252008-11-27T15:07:00.000+01:002008-11-27T15:07:00.000+01:00ASHA...The organization that sanctions and approv...ASHA...The organization that sanctions and approves failure for research and therapy in stuttering.<BR/><BR/>SFA...The Professional Lovefest organization for the Queen's distinguished and vaunted professionals who cure stuttering, unless of course, the stutterer fails in practicing the cure techniques...<BR/><BR/>StutterTalk...Moe, Larry and sometimes Curly<BR/><BR/>And the comedy - as well as the stuttering- continues...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
