The reality is that only a select few researchers are really getting to the heart of what's going on in the brain in stuttering. Most of the stuttering world is confusing stuttering as a speech disorder, when it's a motor disorder. These are clear distinctions. Parkinson's disease is a disorder of movement, but it's a motor disorder neurologically, and treated by neurologists not physical therapists. Stuttering is no different -- Stuttering should be treated by a neurologist. Take one look at this subreddit, and you will see that people are suffering. Things will stay the same unless we demand better treatment options.
