So you agree, and the researchers agree, that fluency modifying techniques are inadequate for people who stutter. Thanks for clarifying. Nobody said anything about a cure. Is there a cure for diabetes? Is there a cure for parkinsons, epilepsy, schizophrenia? No. These disorders have clear mechanisms happening in the brain and body that are managed, not cured. If we want to make real change in the lives of people who stutter than we ought to manage stuttering just like these disorders are. Let's think about Parkinson's for a second. Just because Parkinson's is a movement disorder, that does not mean that Parkinson's is managed by a physiotherapist. Physio may help, but the tools of the physio are simply inadequate because the underlying causes never get addressed. Likewise, just because stuttering is a speech disorder, that does not mean that speech therapy addresses the underlying causes of stuttering. Now I think there's a place for SLPs, but right now, the tools just aren't good enough.
