Thank-you for sharing your story, it was incredibly moving and inspirational. I am just wondering if you can offer any strategies or tips that can be utilized when working with children and young adolescents. As a speech-language pathology graduate student, I often find that this population is extremely hesitant and resistant to discussing emotions and feelings that occur as a result of their stuttering. What are ways that I can stress the importance of addressing attitudes and feelings within the therapy and even home setting?
