He doesn't like reading out loud, at all. He has been in speech services for 8 years. He started at 3, initially he had limited words that were hard to understand. They actually thought he might have childhood apraxia of speech initially. Ages 3,4,5 was 4 day a week, half days in a speech centered preschool, with a teacher, SLP, OT and PT each day. Then ages 6,7,8, he got about 3 hours a week, 9 was the pandemic and he got 1 hour dedicated virtually, plus other services throughout the day. 10, he was back to 3 hours with 1 hour in the classroom, 1 hour alone, and 1 hour with a group of kids that also stutter. He spends a lot of time talking to himself, narrating what he's doing, or to his cat. He doesn't do it much then. But in every day conversations with others its 9/10 times.
