Thanks for the question and good luck in your work with this student. One of the ways we begin the journey of acceptance is by the way in which we approach identification activities. These activities can be extremely desensitizing. When presented in ways that send the message that stutters are "OK" and "just another way of talking," we start toward acceptance. That being said, it may be too early to directly "address" acceptance if you have only had a few sessions. Let this unfold. He will let you know when he is ready by what he says and does during your times together!
