I would also like to add that some preliminary research suggests that that some PWS may be more sensitive to making mistakes. This concern about making mistakes could lead to distress over perceived speech errors. We speculate that in efforts to gain control of their speech, these PWS may expend increased levels of energy, resulting in tension, effort, and struggle, the types of behaviors thought to make stuttering persist. Evelyn Klein and I will be talking about this at the ASHA Convention in San Diego.
