This was a very interesting article. It seems like Hartman was very dedicated to developing strategies for his clients dealing with the stress of stuttering. The tactic of presenting a card to listeners before an interaction was very interesting to me. Even though it is such a simple tactic, it is not one I have heard of before. It is amazing that such a simple tactic could help to ease the feelings of anticipation and anxiety. Hartman mention that self-disclosure is not a "cure" for stuttering and I agree but it seems like an important factor in the "speech therapy" process. I enjoyed reading this article.
