Hi Shelley! I am graduate student at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY! Currently, I am taking a Fluency Class and also working with teenagers and adults who stutter at our school's Fluency Council. I found your article to be very informative and interesting. I believe that Virtual Reality can be a beneficial and motivational tool to incorporate as part of intervention. I was just wondering how the process was coming along to involve working on specific speech and language factors that you mentioned pull-outs, cancellations, easy onsets, etc. in the virtual reality setting? Your article also focused on the job interview environment and working on desensitization in that particular area. Have you attempted any other environmental settings or communication partners that may also pose difficulties for people who stutter?
