Hello there. I really enjoyed reading your paper. So many of your experiences directly relate to conversation topics from my graduate school, fluency disorders class. It’s incredible to hear about your own personal beliefs that you have acquired throughout a lifetime full of experiences. I have two questions for you… 1. When you say that “proper muscle mechanics is the ultimate answer to overcoming a stutter,” what exactly do you mean? Are you referring to speaking/stuttering more easily? With less tension? 2. Why do you feel that “children with ADD are less likely to overcome their stutter?” Do you have firsthand experience that has lead you to this belief? Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts through your paper, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. -Rebecca
