Hi Shannon. Improved self-esteem may be caveat of stuttering therapy and efficacy for some people. However, not all PWS need increased self-esteem to be included in therapy. In Mike's case, he reports that his past accomplishments have brought him to a place in his life where he is ready to tackle his fluency with greater success than in the past before his other accomplishments. I hope Mike will respond to this too. I think attaining higher self-esteem is a progressive process that builds upon past accomplishments. I hope this answers your questions.
