Thank you Jill for this informative article! I am currently working towards my undergraduate degree at Northern Michigan University in becoming a SLP and this expands class lectures on the existence of covert stuttering. I am familiar with the idea of coming out of the closet in regards to the gay community, but until my Fluency Disorder class I’m in now, I never knew someone who stutters covertly may experience a similar coming out. As a SLP won’t I be seen as a person in authority? If so, what advice do you have in making a patient feel comfortable instead of fearing that any shared information will be used against them?
