Abstract
There are more than one million stutterers in the United States today, no less than 350,000 of whom are public school children (21). Rogers (22) estimated that the number of stuttering children in the United States is five times as many as the combined numbers of blind and deaf children. The incidence of stuttering is around one percent of the population (2,6,20). Around 20,000 stutterers are added to the number annually each year (13). Stutterers have been helped by many different methods of treatment based on many conflicting theories and therapies.
