Hi Pam! I am a first year graduate student in a SLP program. You raise a good point that women who stutter are a minority within a minority, and I am a huge believer in support. I believe that you show great support through your podcast and allowing these womean to have a place to express their feelings and their personal stories! Beyond the supports you mention in your writing (not interrupting, being patient, allowing them to tell their own story, etc) what other suggestions do you have for supporting women who stutter? With women having the demands of a family,a career, and all the worries of being a woman, do you feel like they need more or different types of treatment and/or support? -Olivia
