Interesting reminder of Sheehan's words, Ari. Also, this point supports why I believe in having my students in fluency disorders classes, (who are mostly normally fluent speakers) practice pseudostuttering in public, and with their clients. It is both desensitizing and good practice for Van Riper's stuttering modification techniques. The students never like the pseudostuttering assignment at first, but they gain powerful glimpses of empathy, never complete empathy of course, of what it MIGHT be like to stutter.
