*Ggrrr, no idea why the reply is under my throwaway when I signed in as bluebell * Anyway, she's learned enough fluency strategies that she knows she can either talk through it or communicate in a different way. That has made a huge difference for her. Being around other kids that have a stutter also helped tremendously, because it helped her realize that since she didn't think of them as their stutter, people probably didn't see her as hers.  I hope everything works out for your son.
