I am currently a graduate student at Minnesota State University, Mankato and I am enrolled in a stuttering seminar course. I found your presentation to be very informative, cluttering is not addressed in our courses as much as other disorders. I find that interesting because you state the prevalence of stuttering is almost the same as much as stuttering. There are several questions I have after listening to your presentation but I'll limit it to just one. With stuttering, the intrinsic features and feelings associated with stuttering (i.e. anxiety of others' opinions, shame, guilt, frustration, inferiority) are a large part in the therapy for that person. I'm assuming that since a person who clutters is not totally aware of their speech, he or she does not have these feelings. However, once they are made aware of their disorder through ways of recording and listening to their speech and the reactions of his or her listeners, do these feelings then ever appear?
