Hey CassCat, I'm an SLP in my first year of working post grad school (my CF year). In grad school, I worked with 6 PWS - 3 school-age kids and 3 teens - and only one was in my clinical rotations at th...

The Way We Talk (stuttering documentary)

The Way We Talk (stuttering documentary) A while back I posted a trailer and Kickstarter campaign for a documentary called The Way We Talk. The Kickstarter reached its goal and beyond, and now the mov...
