Hi I am a graduate student taking a course on stuttering. After reading your article on EI, I was curious to know if when working with PWS is it better to first address their EI or the actual physical act of stuttering? To be more clear, Assuming that the client has a lot of negative thoughts and feelings, do you think it's best for the SLP to work on the EI and once the client's feelings/thoughts regarding their stuttering have improved the SLP should begin to work on making the client more fluent? or vice versa?
