From a stimulus-evaluation perspective. Why are most people who stutter not aware of their subconscious stimulus-evaluation as well as their panic response prior to the stuttering manifestations? What do you think in your own words? I believe developmental stuttering is often genetic/neurological. However, many people in the stuttering community seem to confuse neurogenic stuttering (completely unpredictable) with a maladaptive fine-tuned evaluation–response mechanism. I think if SLPs, PWS, etc. understand this concept, progress in addressing the stuttering disorder could be faster. In other words, even though stuttering onset has occurred because of neurological/genetic factors in most cases, I think it’s likely that stuttering remission or subconscious fluency occurs if we effectively address this maladaptive fine-tuned evaluation–response mechanism. This is just my own take on it, speaking from my own experience with stuttering remissions and relapses. So. **Strategy-wise I'd suggest:** Find out why, in some situations PWS (people who stutter) can execute the speech plan while in others they continue stuttering. Reverse-engineer the process — keep asking questions until you uncover deeper answers instead of defaulting to “it’s unpredictable” or “it’s neurological.” Blaming shouldn’t stop us from investigating what fuels and drives the subconscious mechanisms that prevent us from achieving stuttering remission or subconscious fluency. Don't rely on others for this and go from the assumption that everything you currently know is wrong and start exploring from scratch.
