Thank you for reading my article!!! I would say self- acceptance is crucial; however, in myown experience it could take years to fully accept stuttering. It is very complex and multifaceted. Accepting parts of it whether it be how you stutter, stuttering treatment, feeling and attitudes, stuttering openly, using strategies or even sharing stories to friends and family are all pivotal in progress in treatment. In my own experience being able to become a better communicator such as maintaining eye contact through a stuttering event was pivotal--it is really the small things that count:)
