Excellent paper! While I was reading it, I felt like these sentences came from my SLP here in Belgrade. Thanks to advice like these in your paper, I am not afraid to speak on the phone, at the post-office, starting conversation etc. And the most important: I feel very good about myself. Of course, at first was very difficult to apply what I've learned from my SLP in the real life. It took months. But step by step I think I've managed to change things. I'm still trying to improve my speech and I'm going purposely in various difficult situations (a year ago or more I couldn't imagine of going in some of them). Also, advertising helped me a lot. On my last exam, I told professor that I'll speak slowly because I stutter. From that point I was more relaxed and I was speaking quite fluently. I will use the chance of tomorrow's seminar with the future SLPs (from the neighbour country Macedonia) and PWSs to discuss some of the topics from your paper.
I'm sorry if my English is not that good. Thanks again for this great paper (I was enjoying every part of it) and best regards from Serbia.
