βΌοΈSo important to know that #cluttering is situational. That is, the "#clutter" is not apparent all the time. As with #stuttering/#stammering, sometimes it's there; sometimes it's not. Kathleen Scaler Scott explains in @ASHAJournals' @ASHAleader #fluency

Before he died, my husband wrote our 3 young children a letter.
This letter was one final gift - a guide for our family.
I shared it at his funeral, and everyone said a version of the same thing - hearing that letter read- has changed them
