"What do you think will happen in the next 10-20 in terms of stuttering treatment and research?" More genetic advances, perhaps enzyme therapy (ala Dennis Drayna), and certainly more brain imaging of younger children closer to the onset of their stuttering. More attention to risk factors in young children and more longitudinal research that helps replicate what we think we know so far in that area. More acceptance of stuttering in the older populations, due to technological advances like www.stuttertalk.com and www.stuttersocial.com and ISAD archives (!) etc. But as Ken St. Louis alluded to, these are predictions that are loosely formed, not crystal ball insights.
