Kayla, Generally speaking, I've seen that PWSC bring more resistances into therapy and consequently are sometimes more of a challenge clinically. In other words, you need to begin by working on acceptance and letting the stuttering surface with PWSC. Working with others who stutter, the stuttering is already an open issue and you can "dive right in" and work on it. As to how often I see a PWSC as a client...there are two ways of interpreting your question... In terms of the intensity of weekly treatments, its usually 1 or 2 times per week. In terms of prevalence of covert stuttering, its a much less frequent phenomenon that "overt stuttering", but there aren't good statistics on the numbers of people.
