>desensitizing the client to stuttering and then taking control of the stutter Ultimately, the blocks will subside Some people like to use fluency enhancing techniques While not a "cure" per se in the sense of taking a drug or having surgery might cure other conditions, these things are all types of treatment that can at least reduce the problem - which is what a lot of us want. But when people talk about stuttering being a "difference" that we need to "accept" and "not try to cure", that sounds like accepting it = not treating it. Saying that doing a bunch of things that can help reduce stuttering is totally different to trying to cure it isn't really accurate when said in the same post as a bunch of crap about "acceptance" and "just a different way of communicating."
