Thanks for your comments. In response to your questions... 1. I was actually quite amazed at how much our CWS opened up about their feelings. They seemed comfortable having a neutral forum for sharing their feelings and insights with their peers, rather than on a face-to-face basis. 2. The responses of classmates was overwhelmingly positive. Peers asked more questions about stuttering (enabling the CWS to act as "experts" in the area) and expressed increased sensitivity to feelings of CWS. Also, becuse teachers, parents, and administators were so positive, the classmates viewed our CWS as celebrities! 3. I worked primarily with elementary-school children. But, I can see this project work well with ant population.
