There's only been a handful of parents who have raised this over the years. I basically have responded that the goal of treatment is almost always to help children (or adults, for that matter) communicate as effectively as possible using speech. I then have discussed the many pros associated with becoming proficient at managing stuttering effectively, as well as the limitations of sign language (e.g., very few of the child's classmates or teachers will know it, thus the child's participation restrictions would very likely be much greater than they presently are).
