I really enjoyed reading your article, I think every speech therapist would benefit from reading your paper. It's great that you are so supportive and that your son is comfortable with his disfluency for this will eliminate many emotional difficulties PWS eventually face. Have you tried doing your own form of therapy with Eli from the information that you gathered? If so, what type of activities? Also, I was wondering have you ever tried or considered exposing Eli to some desensitization measures to prepare him for reactions that may be not so pleasant outside of his regular environment? I know kids, as well as adults can be really cruel sometimes and when exposed to situations like this, a young PWS can find this traumatizing. Once again, thanks for posting such a helpful article.
