I am siding with John on this. We cannot clearly look into the future and predict, but we sure can work hard at getting the answers, and staying informed so we may catch new developments and emerging information. I think that would be more important than to even try and foresee into the future where ever it may take us. It is logical to presume, as John did, that the specific agents you were talking about (the pink pill or use of the Speech Easy) will provide partial solutions, and forms of assistance, which still require attention for attitudes, feelings/emotions, and frustrating efforts associated with the problem that has been going on often for years until such solutions are considered. The Lidcomb therapy is something else of course as it is considered early on in the development of stuttering. I think the Lidcomb therapy can be very effective as long as stuttering behaviors are the only problem and age and family situation allow the stuttering to be treated this way.
