I don't think I said he purports to cure stuttering, only that he seems to focus on fluency which imo is totally the wrong direction as fluency incompatible with acceptance of being a pws. Also hearing "strategies" makes it sound very similar to fluency shaping. Also if he espouses voluntary stuttering as a strategy to reduce stuttering and increase fluency, he doesn't understand what voluntary stuttering is about. I was commenting about what may very likely happen in the future where coming back home fluency strategies fall apart and when that happens not to blame the daughter because it's not her fault, it's a faulty therapy.
