>*There is currently no cure YET,  really doing harm to those who are struggling with their own stuttering acceptance* This! There is no cure for stuttering, as other SLPs have said, we can't cure the neurological parts of stuttering whether it's the hypersensitivity parts or other. As an SLP/researcher said: >*"I'm not sure why anyone refers to a "cure" for stuttering, as if stuttering was a disease. It's what philosophy undergraduates describe as a category error, in that it's a mistake so fundamental as to discredit other statements by the same person about stuttering. This applies as well to the people who say there is "no cure for stuttering", as if it's some kind of gotcha that can be used to diminish any proposed therapy for stuttering. What's really happening in those situations is a strawperson argument. Stuttering therapies don't aim to cure stuttering, because the entire concept of a cure is an entirely mistaken one. It would be like trying to cure oneself of blue eyes or blonde hair. You can do that kind of thing with contact lenses or hair dye, but no-one would ever describe it as a cure. Therapies for stuttering work similarly to the ways in which one can change eye or hair colour, in that the results are not permanent and may not be predictable.* >*However, people may reasonably want to try them anyway. So, all that's happening if someone says that there's "no cure for stuttering" is that they're employing a rhetorical device to support some personal prejudice – usually that stuttering therapy is best not attempted, or some variant thereof. However, such proposals are discriminatory (disablist), because they have an effect of advocating for the removal therapy options that could be effective for people who stutter and who would like to reduce the amount of stuttering. It's a bit like saying someone shouldn't get tattoos because you don't like tattoos, or that a nose surgery is wrong because you should keep the nose God gave you (your "authentic" nose).* >*Several strands of recent research have shown stuttering diminishing across the lifespan – both the presence of stuttering, and the amount of stuttering in those who continue to stutter. This isn't any type of "cure", however it does show that there is nothing inevitable about stuttering. This has been known in children for some time (e.g. most children who start to stutter don't continue to do so) and is also true for adults. One caveat is that the reduction in stuttering applies predominantly to neurodevelopmental childhood onset stuttering. It is offset by adult onset stuttering (e.g. neurogenic, psychogenic or pharmogenic), whose course may differ from that of the neurodevelopmetal childhood onset stuttering."*
