Stuttering (US) and stammering (UK) means: blocks, repetitions and prolongations. In my opinion I think that we should not accept repetitions or any other unhelpful secondary symptoms of stuttering But I do think that we should accept some tension and other helpful secondaries I think that we should accept (say: allow) blocks rather than trying to avoid blocks I think that we should accept (say: acknowledge) fear, anticipation and other speech errors in the speech motor plan (that we view as a problem or at least an obstacle) and move forward with the speech plan regardless
