So…you’re saying speech therapy helps with blocking…like it can also help with repetition, sound elongation, and other behaviors people who stutter have? Almost like blocking is a symptom of the condition. As someone who blocked for a very long time and still blocks on occasion, it is and has never been a choice. Not the first time, not the last time, and at no time in between. No one chooses to stutter or do any of the myriad of things that it causes.
