Hello professor, my name is Natalie and i am a 1st year graduate student, I have learn small amounts about stuttering in the past and I am in my first offical stuttering class now. We havent talked much about aquired stuttering as of yet but, we have dissused on topics such as epidemiology, the characteristics of people who stutter, etc. I have recently completed a paper on how anxiety can contribute to a persons stuttering. My question is do you think, in the case of "Ann", that her treatment of her speech disfluencies have not worked because of her anxiety and fustration of not being the fluent person she was before the accident? Would anxiety be a major factor in some cases of people who have aquired or neurogenic stuttering?
