Thank you so much, Pam, for your wonderful words. After answering your question, I would like you to share your thoughts with us. I did not have too much time to attend any support groups for PWS. I just recently found the explanation to all my failed exams (it took me about 40 years overall :-), stumbled roll calls in my classrooms, not speaking of jammed presentations (in any language I spoke, etc). However, due to my son's severe cleft lip/palate speech and emotional issues,I had a chance to be a part of a therapeutical community which is based at UF and includes audiologists, speech specialists, psychologists, etc. I first attended their Summer Camp, for both adult and children, when I was still pregnant with my child. The chance to not only hear the stories, but to have an immediate response to the questions from the specialists, their advice on best practices (for example, how to deal with mocking, staring, how to downplay negativity, etc.)was extremely helpful. When my child was born, I had an idea what my child was facing and how to help him. We are in touch with most of these people for 12 years already. My son successfully completed his speech therapy, grew as emotionally mostly cheerful boy. While working through his problems, I realized that I had my own set of them - speech, language, emotions. I started looking for answers. If I feel it correctly, you managed to partially cope with your stuttering (probably=reason for dismissal from the program). What part of the support program do you miss most of all? What were you truely seeking - knowledge, better understanding, emotional support? If you had a cnance to organize a support community/group, what suggestions would you make?
