Aphasia is loss of language, not intellect, and it's so heartbreaking to see that no one understands what this is. I do believe that a person with aphasia could serve as a US senator. And it's only been a few months, it will get better. Nobody understands.

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

What are the predictive factors of stuttering persistence? If there are multiple risk factors present, does this increase the odds of a child developing persistent stuttering? (1/7)
Loving your (spoiler-free) enthusiasm for this grand finale. I've purchased the Coda books but probably won't read them for years yet, as I'm just beginning to get into things at the other end of the story (currently reading A Time to Harvest)... can't wait to get there one day.
I always talk about how this framework is the single most transformative idea I've ever encountered as a therapist. I hope this publication will help other therapists (and me too!) continue to better meet the needs of teens who stutter (wherever they're at). Can't wait.
I have often wondered this about the yips and stuttering! A functionally specific challenge to initiation of complex motor movements in the absence of motor or neurological deficits sounds familiar.

“The idea that the president of the United States is also a person who stutters-I think that's really inspiring, and hopefully can make life easier for those who come after us” – SLP Chris Constantino @FSUCCI @FSU_COM @JoeBiden #slpeeps #slp2b
