Mike, Like the others said, you bring up a great point. I recall (as probably other SLPs on this forum) the exact thing you are talking about. I remember being able to speak perfectly with my clinician or others at the hospital, but stuttering when I wanted to get gas for the drive home. That is why some of us make sure we are having as much treatment outside the clinic room as in it. Tomorrow I will meet a client at the local junior college he attends. We arranged for a classroom for our session since that is where he has problems. There ARE SLPs who get this. I recommend that you (and any other PWS) interview SLPs in your area and try to find one that will see you in natural settings too. With the advent of teletherapy, if you can't find a therapist in your local area, look for one that can Skype you. You could be at work, in a Starbucks, at school, etc. YOU GET IT! Find someone to work with that GETS IT too. Good luck. I'd love to hear how it works out.
