You write that "...difficult to get good measurements of things like parental behavior toward stuttering in the home, so this remains an area for more research in the future." ---- But you would agree that this factor is NOT relevant until after the onset of stuttering at the age 2-3? The social environment cannot react towards stuttering before onset. But then the parental behaviour toward stuttering can only modulate a neurobiological basis, right? Parental behaviour surely impact the development of the brain indirectly. But the vast majority despite terrible parental behaviour do not have stuttering onset. So there must be a neurobiological basis in any case? Be it genetics, or developmental (caused by random effects or parental care)?
