Beth and Nina, thank you for your interesting article about stuttering as a disability. Reading this article did bring a few questions to mind. Do you feel that the majority of PWS within our society would want to be labeled as "disabled?" Do you feel that labeling PWS as "disabled" will truly help promote a more positive view of stuttering within our field and throughout society, or could this label further the negativity that already exists towards PWS? Thank you for your time.
