Of all the tools that seems to work best for me, it is VS and pausing. I like how you so practically break it down, and present it in such a way that pausing makes sense for overall communication. One of the reasons I always felt so hesitant to use speech tools was that I felt it made me sound too unnnatural. But pausing is great for public speaking of any kind - it helps the listeners be better able to follow along and allows for processing. And when pausing we emphasize certain points. Stuttering can be so overwhelming for all of us, but especially kids. So these easy-to-use tools make so much sense. As always, great job!
