Why is it important?
The article questions the direction of neuroscience in stuttering at a time when experimental approaches are available to significantly influence what we know about stuttering.
Perspectives
I wrote the article because I wanted to explain how neuroscience can integrate and learn from what people who stutter tell us about stuttering, with greater attention toward individuals. I think we have a chance to do more and I wanted to reach out to the stuttering community. I hope its taken in that spirit and has that effect.
