Hi Dr. Amster and Dr. Klein, I am a grad student of Dr. David Shapiro at WCU. I have a few questions in connection with your article. First, given the location of LaSalle University in eastern Pennsylvania and the existence of a large Amish population in that same area, I was wondering if you know of any studies regarding fluency issues within that population. Second, due to the strict rules and isolated nature of some Amish sects, could there be a correlation between those rules and an implied sense of perfectionism that might affect some members' fluency? Thank you, Debbie Dunham
