Thanks for your comments… As far as the future goes, I would rather see a fundamental change in how the stuttering phenomenon is perceived, rather than wanting research project X, Y and Z in a journal. But as far as specific research designs, I think it would behoove us to further document stuttering in other communicative modalities—including their perceptual onset and other characteristics. Clearly, genetic research (such as that being performed by Dr. Drayna) would be interesting; as would basic neuroimaging (fMRI, PET, MEG, and others) to see if the neural signature of stuttering is consistent regardless of expressive modality. … … but these are just a few avenues of research off the top of my head. Such research is really only limited by one’s own stuttering research perspective.
