Hatchfirst noticed Kelcey’s stutter whenthegirl was 5 and the family wasliving in Bryce Canyon. While there were speech therapists in the area, nonespecialized in stuttering, so Hatch and her daughter started driving five hours, once a month, to work with Gurrister in Salt Lake City. Now that the family lives in Tooele, Kelcey works with Gurrister weekly. Hatch said attending the conference “was more for Kelcey, for her to meet other kids” whostutter.
