Thank you for wanting to be supportive and sensitive to the needs of PWS! The main thing you need to know is that we want to be heard and we want to get our words out - our own words. So just be patient and listen, don't try to complete our sentences - half the time the listener gets it wrong! Just listen. Here is a publication by the National Stuttering Association that gives some good advice: http://www.westutter.org/opencms/export/sites/default/nsa/stutteringInformation/pdfs/Notes_to_Listeners_2012.pdf
