Hi Margaret, Is it possible that her difficulty learning Spanish can be attributed to emotional factors related to her dysfluency? In answer to this question, I am not sure.....interesting research question? On a personal note I am terrible at other languages, seem to stutter just as much if not more! With PWS this could be an important issue for some of your ELL students...not sure if they are fluent before learning a second language. Could be an emotional link. Interesting about the acting/theater link....if I am animated, use my hands, walk around while teaching (performance)my speech is pretty fluent. Regards, Rob
