Pam: I don’t have the answer to your question. I am a clinician who doesn’t stutter, but I use voluntary stuttering at different points in therapy with most of my clients. When I ask whether or not the voluntary stuttering feels real, the client almost always says that it does. Depending on the client, sometimes we may try to do more VS with an emphasis on changing the way the client is stuttering or on modifying the stuttering during the stuttered moment (or listening to the stuttering on the tape recorder and reflecting on possible options of how to change). My hope is that by practicing options within the confines of therapy will allow the client an opportunity to try the same in ADL’s.
