Dear David, Thank you for clearing the legalities of that up. It is so hard knowing where to send people who are looking for jobs but who have speech issues of any type. I'm an SLP in training, not a job coach, but I would still like to give my clients the most up to date information so they can advocate for themselves. I gather that, especially with stuttering, there is a huge range of how PWS' feel as to whether they have a disability or not. Having looked through several papers at this conference it seems to me that, in terms of a PWS' feelings about themselves (to make a sweeping generalization) they appear to do much better when they accept that this issue is part of their lives, rather than trying to deny it. I appreciate your thoughtful answers and that this forum exists to help educate and inspire others.
