u/drunk_horsey, While I’m currently employed outside of the field, I graduated with my MA-SLP in May, specializing in fluency to the extent on can while in grad school. The answer that this comment is a response too is solid. Physicians not only know nothing about stuttering, they often believe things that are horribly wrong. The average SLP would likely know the basics, but there’s a loooot of graduated, licensed SLPs who have never even had a client who stuttered. That’s just the nature of the disorder. Getting treatment now is not at all a bad option. If he’s stuttered for more than about a year, it’s unlikely he’ll spontaneously recover, though it’s not unheard of.
