Blagadaro (thanks) Orlin for your comments. I,like you, and so many others on this online conference believe that overcoming avoidance is a stutterer's number one task. Stuttering openly and trying to modify our speech openly leads to better fluency and puts us on the path of fully functioning human beings. Because stuttering can be so humuliating non- avoidance can be very frightening. But, as someone once said, "courage is the realization that some things are more important than fear".
