As a mostly recovered stutterer myself, the passion driving my entire career has been to improve the lives of people who stutter or have other speech fluency problems. The materials I have developed all derive from that goal, whether focusing on the clients themselves or the attitudes and influences they encounter from their families, their teachers, or the public.
