Another great question and discussion topic. I'll second everything Lynne offered. I'd also like to suggest a couple of resources (though I hope you'll forgive me for suggesting writing that I've been involved in). The National Stuttering Association has a booklet written by Bill Murphy, Bob Quesal, Nina Reeves, and me that includes details about how to help kids practice some of these types of responses. It's called "Bullying and Teasing: Helping Children Who Stutter." We also have a couple of articles in JFD from 2007 that give an example of how these techniques might be applied with a school-age child who stutters. I'll be happy to send you links if you want to drop me an email - jsyaruss@pitt.edu. Thx, S
