I just absolutely loved this reply. I t was honest and made a lot of sense. I have been following this discussion closely - it is very revealing. IAs an adult who stutters, I have had very limited experience with speech therapists who understand stuttering. I have only worked with SLP students, who were lucky to be in a program where they had to take a fluency course and do a fluency practicum. But I still feel it didn't benefit me, as was in a place where I needed (still need) work on acceptance and feelings. That said, since Kevin mentioned ASHA, are PWS, who are not SLPs or students, ever invited by ASHA to present their story? I am curious about that. I have looked on the ASHA website a few time and it seems the papers/presentations are fairly clinical-based. I think this is a great thread for non-professionals to glimpse, as it shows that there is still much work to be done to bring professionals and consumers together on some of the controversial issues. Hope no one minds that I chimed in here!
