I was inspired by the many achievements and the challenges overcome by the famous PWS discussed. It was great to read about the lives of PWS who differ in gender, ethnicity, and careers. The individuals discussed serve as a great model to other PWS, as stuttering did not consume or define who they were as a person. I was most intrigued by the story of Sophie Gusatafsson, as her treatment approaches and her personal opinions regarding the treatment were discussed. However, I was wondering what is the rationale behind medication or acupuncture as a way to reduce stuttering behaviors? Also, "fluency master" is listed as another treatment approach. What is this?
