Dr. Shapiro, Thank you for your honest and heartfelt story. It is interesting that while I have never experienced a stuttering problem, I can still relate to many of the challenges you talk about, perhaps because the challenge in being "real" is one that we all constantly face, and also one that can be applied to many different areas of our lives. I was curious to know if your stuttering had ever had any effect on your professional career as a SLP- either positively or negatively. Did you find that clients and their families felt that you could relate better to them because you had experienced first-hand some of the same struggles?
