Harsha;
What a wonderful and interesting new approach technique! I would find it very educational to read those PWS personal stories. It would allow others to get a better understanding of how PWS cope, and what they go through on a daily basis.
Do you find it difficult to get people to share their stories, or are they eager and willing to do so? In getting them to share, are there specific questions that are asked in which they answer?
The one comment in the article that I felt was the most impacting for me was the statement "Research modeled along the underpinnings of the meidcal model has engaged primarily with the pathological, symptomatic dimensions of dysfluency but does not have a metric for understaning the fundemental issues of hurt, pain, grief, hope and encourgement the human dimensions of stuttering experience." That was a view I never thought of until reading those words.
I found this article to quite informative and it allowed me to look at research in a different prespective. What a positive change in research!!
Thanks! Jodie
