I am curious, just a quick question. I've read and seen so much on the mainstream media which points the future of stuttering therapy to the pharmacy. New tests on several drugs have yielded decent results in terms of success rate. My question is this: do you think that speech therapy will embrace these pharmaceutical advances? Will they eventually replace traditional modification/fluency shaping therapies? Do you see them being used in unison as complements to one another? Your thoughts.. Thanks, Jack McDermott
