To counter the suggestions (in this thread) that you do your practice-talking alone. Many PWS are fluent when alone (bc stuttering tends to happen whrn you nervously try to stop a stutter bc of fear of judgment) so it will be much more helpful to practice what’s hard for you. Per the theory of Vyvotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, you should only make goals that are slightly above your current ability, but that are truly achievable.
