Thanks Ed for speaking up. (personally I can’t blame shyness, only “busy”ness). Yes while I thank those who replied it would be nice to have answers to all my questions. (however I understand others are busy too). While acknowledging the well-meaning and caring nature of SLPs it seems from the very low numbers of pws ever being diagnosed with social phobia, that pws are being denied access to effective evidence based social phobia therapies (including pharmaceutical intervention). Also as there are many who stutter without social phobia, then this variability is not being made clear for the purposes of public awareness and research.
