Initial admittance of stuttering — 2 Comments

  1. I bet you will have a bunch of different answers to this great question.

    My response would be to give the PWS my attention, be patient and attend to their message rather than their stuttering. Instead of SAYING “I look forward to hearing what you have to say,” SHOW IT. SHOW the PWS that you are interested in having a conversation with them by sticking around, following up on their comments, and engaging in the conversation like you would with anyone else. Avoid finishing their sentences or overlapping their comments.

    Be patient. Be kind. Be interested. Hear the message.

    I would love to hear what others say. Thanks for the good question! Tricia šŸ™‚

    • You are absolutely right. Showing is much more important than saying. Thank you for highlighting that aspect.
