Hi Tim (and Katie), Many congratulations of contributing such an enlightening paper. I feel that it will benefit many who take the opportunity to read it. In the ideal world, all PWS and clinicians should have an understanding that working on the mechanics of our speech has only limited value. In order to achieve permanent gains, it is imperative that we address our stuttering mindset. You may find it of interest to read the following paper that I wrote for the ISAD Online Conference in 2009: ‘How Beliefs and Self-image Can Influence Stuttering’ http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad12/papers/badmington12.html I wish you continued success in the future. Kindest regards Alan
