Mr. Badmington, I am currently enrolled in a graduate course in Fluency disorders at the College of St. Rose, and my teachers directed us to this conference to get a better insight about Fluency. I really enjoyed your article, and I think that it is so great that you faced your stuttering instead of hiding behind your speech-helping device. You are a great role model for people who stutter, and you sent such a positive message in your article. How did you feel when your supervisor said that to you and made you switch positions? Did it impact your relationship with him or her, and did you ever explain or confront him after him switching you? Also, were you getting speech therapy while using the device, and if so what type of therapy?
