i think there are many controversies because stuttering is caused by multiple unknown causes with a genetic factor. The influence of Johnson and Sheehan will persist into the future. With school speech therapy, like k-12 public education in the USA today...there are many challenges....What is not in dispute is the proper education of parents. With Children who stutter and school therapy, is it not MORE important to educate the parents (communicate with the parents and proper education)? I can just imagine children in a small room at the school practicing drills in school speech therapy. Some parents still have negative attitudes towards stuttering, which can greatly affect self-esteem of children. The parents are just "not educated" Old beliefs die hard.
