Thanks for the post, u/Muttly2001... Modifying Phonation Intervals is an approach to speech therapy for those who stutter that is focused on changing speech in order to enhance fluency. Certainly, some people take that as their primary goal for therapy, but in my opinion, there is much more to therapy than just focusing on fluency. If you find benefit from it, then that's great...therapy for stuttering should be very individualized. As for whether this is the future - well, for me, I would look toward broader approaches that address fluency in addition to other aspects of the condition (negative emotional reactions, etc.). But, that is a philosophical divide that has affected our field for many years, and it's not likely to ever be resolved. There will always be people who are more focused on fluency and people who are more focused on the big picture. And, that's probably okay, as long as people who stutter can connect with clinicians who provide what they are looking for in their own lives.
