Dear Mr. Hicks, I am currently a graduate student in the communication disorders department at the College of St. Rose. I read your article and was amazed to see the amount of confidence you had. I think its great to have people like you face your stuttering and not hide behind it. Speaking in front of a group is such an overwhelming experience, even for me. Although I do not stutter, while giving a presentation my body shows many signs of nervousness, such as blushing, shaking, sweating, etc. I just want to hide. Since I have read your article, I would like to work on my own confidence as a speaker and try to impact others as you have done. I was also wondering if you received any therapy as an adult and if so what type of therapy, and also I would also like to know if you ever used technological supports to help with your stuttering?
