I just wanted to let you know that I read your paper and really enjoyed it. When I start to work as an SLP I would really like to push people who stutter to get involved in activities that increase public awareness. I would like it to be a part of therapy. I know that each person is different, but I was wondering if you feel as though this would be beneficial. Should the SLP push PWS to increase public awareness as activities and/or assignments for therapy? I feel that pushing a client to be a part of these activities will not only spread awareness, but can also teach the individual a lot about themselves and assist them in expanding their comfort zones.
