I really enjoyed this article! I also tried your “r avoidance” experiment, but it was so frustrating and mentally exhausting to me that I had to cheat and change my avoidance to the word “the.” In my fluency course we recently had an assignment where we had to pseudostutter in three different public places. Both of these tasks have proven to be very challenging and have given me great insight into what a fluency (or articulation) disorder might feel like. I was wondering if as a clinician you have ever pseudostuttered or used avoidance behaviors yourself during therapy and if so, how they were received by your client. Thank you for sharing!
