Hi Katie,
I wish you a good luck with your college and your future profession!
Please check the other questions people posed to me and then you'll know which one of my answers to open. I have answered already concerning speech-therapies - I didn't reject them.
And how can you better help individuals such as myself to adjust... For this I had to go to the kitchen and eat two spoons of cocoa to get my brain think better. Well, I conclude with nothing new: you should point out the qualities of the person, such as asking him/her: "What do you do best?" Maybe he can make splendid kites, maybe she can communicate with cats, maybe he can do more push-ups than anyone else in the class, and she can predict the weather with a 100% accuracy. Let them see that they ARE so many other things than their stuttering. Most of them see the world through a prism that converts all the light into stuttering, stuttering, stuttering. Definitely this prism CAN be removed snd stuttering put into perspective.
It should be a small baggage by our feet, not a wild horse racing around having us on its back. Or a bull? Is bull a better picture? I like horse more.
Thank you for your kind words and I wish you joy and success!
