I’m an early childhood mental health professional and a person who stutters. I wish I was taught to effectively disclose. Disclosing is *to benefit the PWS*, to try to eliminate possibility of engaging in subconscious counterproductive “strategies” to prevent listeners from hearing you speak with repetitions. These “strategies” are eye contact avoidance, word switching, and other avoidance bxs, and are associated with shame, social fear and panic. The key is to disclose with a non-chalant or humorous tone and not linger unnecessarily. An example when meeting another child at the park : “hi! My name is Tommy. What’s your name? Sometimes my words are bumpy or get stuck in my mouth. Sorta like a frog is hiding in there! Wanna play tag?”
