We were six people at this meeting, which included three students from La Salle’s graduate program in Speech Language Pathology, and a newcomer, besides Mitch and I.

We talked about advertising, not only in the context of stuttering but also about other things that could be embarrassing or could have an impact on work performance, socializing, etc.  For example, one of the attendees revealed that she has ADHD and she has communicated that to other people.

The students wanted us to elaborate on our experiences regarding therapy, what has worked for us, what value we get from it, and what we would recommend to them from the point of view of a patient.  We covered the differences between stuttering modification therapy and fluency shaping techniques, as well as others that are available.
