Thanks for reading and commenting on the article! To add to what Beth already said, I think it is important for SLPs to work on their comfort with PWS. We know when someone is uncomfortable and I hope that people will become more comfortable with exposure. For example, oddly enough, I have had some of the best experiences with people who are Howard Stern fans because they have had exposure, even if it has been in making fun. I think people need to increase their own comfort level. We usually are experts at making others comfortable so I would like to see fluent people work on this instead of me doing it ;-)
