Moussa, 21, stuttering since age 4 to up to 80% of his words, mainly blocks and some repeats. Situational stutterer. Sixth session.
One week without bad incidents. He is having some minor hesitations though. In this session Coach Javier develops a General Speech Plan (short increments + word linkage + stops) and an Emergency Speech Plan (short increments + holding the tone + stops) for Moussa, and practice both. At the end of the session we discuss why many PWS avoid eye contact during conversations.
