I just want to comment on the mentoring part of your question. I have spoken with a few younger stutterers over the years and it has always been a great experience. Most speech therapists, while well intentioned, have never stuttered and don’t truly understand the emotional and psychological aspects of stuttering. If you can put younger stutterers in touch with older ones I believe it would be very helpful. Having someone that can truly relate to what you’re going through is always a good thing.
