Very on point but I wonder if it is followed through?  Do these SLP's still give advice on how to stutter or stutter easier?  Like elongation, etc which still leads down a path of correctiveness even ...

You’re describing the exact reason I want to get this information out there! As a society, we have deemed stuttering as not acceptable. It starts when we are very young. Even as early as 5 years old, ...
