Communicating Effectively with PWS.

Want to help someone who stammers? These are some tips to employ:

  • Maintain good eye contact as much as possible.
  • Demonstrate good listening skills through good use of body language.
  • Do not rush the conversation and avoid seeming in a hurry to get away.
  • Show an interest in what they have to say rather than pity or impatience with how they are talking.
  • Avoid asking him/her to slow down or take a deep breathe whilst they are still talking.
  • Never tease a person with a stammer because they stammer. It can seriously damage their self-confidence.
  • Keep your own speech rate at an even pace.
  • Read about stammering and how you can make talking easier for people who stammer.
