First, thank you so much for the article. As a person who stutters, I know what it's like to 'test the waters' when you go out and attempt to pseudostutter. It feels very risky at first, but, as you said, can be very empowering afterwards. I'm also an SLP and I treat people who stutter of all ages. I think I read in the thread the importance of applying all the 'steps' to Van Riper's progam. But I'd also like to suggest saving room for fluency enhancing strategies - which I never really appreciated until after becoming desensitized to my stuttering. Again, thanks!
