"Scott's continued repetition of the importance of desensitization and helping the student to become accountable to self - not to do what parents or teachers think is best for the student was beneficial.

"I liked the explanation of the stuttering modification techniques and how they are related, and sometimes the same as fluency enhancing. I liked the activities and goals provided.

"There were a variety of activities for me to use with students of all ages, and I appreciated the information regarding talking to parents as well as the strategies to deal with bullying.

I also will use the strategy of "teach the teacher." L.H. (Jul. 2023)

"The presenter was knowledgeable and easy to listen to! I liked the discussion related to the fact that techniques are hard to use and they will most likely not ever become fully automatic.

"Very practical and informative course. I liked the focus on communicating effectively vs. fluency rate." L.S. (May 2023)

"I found all the information valuable! After watching this course, it became clear to me that I need to spend more time on this aspect. I also liked the portion about bullying and being proactive rather than reactive around that piece!" T.T. (Nov. 2022)

"I liked the discussion of timing and tension as the simple basis for all fluency shaping techniques. I also liked the discussion about trade-offs between easy speech techniques (reducing tension and time pressure) and naturalism/automaticity and the clear discussion of this and that, no, a person who stutters won't be aiming to use these techniques all the time." R.M. (Nov. 2022)

"All of it! Loved the in-depth discussions on timing and tension, desensitization, and bullying. Excellent, practical information that truly makes sense. I loved the practical, up-to-date advice and activities.

"I needed to hear Scott Yaruss say how important teaching the student to understand what parts of his body feels tension and learn to recognize where the tension is. I like that Scott recommended spending a lot of time on this foundation teaching about the speech machine and learning to notice tension. I also like that the goal in therapy is not to speak fluently, but to speak more easily.
