Dr. Shapiro, what a beautiful article! I feel very fortunate to have such an inspiring professor. I admire the fact that you spoke to everyone in general, because everyone needs to learn how to be real, no matter who they are. Also, by not only speaking to people who stutter, you are confirming that everyone is equal, despite any communication differences; this is exactly what you are teaching us at WCU. As an aspiring clinician, I would like to know how you would handle a situation where a client’s family does not provide an opportunity to be real. How do you positively inspire a client who is constantly surrounded by negative feedback on his/ her communication disorder?
