My opinion is: both a community and therapists are needed; But both should give up this huge obsession with curing, managing, helping to speak better or differently- all that is often driven by big money and a notion of outer perfection (everyone must look talk walk like this..the narrow range of "normalcy"). Let there be some space for Acceptance. I do not mean to say that people should not work on their communication skills. But there should be no pressure on them to spend lot of money and keep trying one program after another for the best part of their life, ignoring other gifts of life in the process. Two years back, in this very forum there was a very good article on Transfluency (by Loriente). I think that line of thought is and will be relevant for a long long time to come..
