Thank you for sharing your remarkable article! I am a graduate student in Communication Disorders and I feel that your article reminds us about the person and the feelings associated with stuttering. I am not a person who stutters, so reading this helps put perspective into a child's entire day - all the tasks that can cause anxiety in a school day. One exercise I was taught was to have the child (and SLP if needed) give a mini-presentation to the class about stuttering. Do you feel that this would have been beneficial to you in school? People usually "fear" what is different or unknown - so would education help decrease this fear? Thanks again!
