Hi Tim, great paper, very enlightening. I have encountered a lot of pws everywhere, in store, in school, in restaurants etc. I am truly amazed and proud of pws who exhibit courage and engage in jobs that require a lot of "talking". My question is, how can I be of more help to pws when communicating with them? What is the best reaction when they stutter? I always just show an intent to listen, trying not to show in my face that I notice any stuttering behavior. Does that help not give a "negative" reaction and reduce anxiety for pws?
