This research is coming to the attention of physicians. In addition to publication in the New England Journal of Medicine, genetics research was the subject of an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Unfortunately, physicians remain very limited in what they can do to help a person who stutters. However, as the disorder becomes better known by pediatricians and the general medical community, I believe this will lead to more efficient referral to speech language pathologists, who are currently on the front lines for treatment of stuttering.
