There is treatment for stuttering, I just don't know what it is. Like anything else you probably need to find an SLP who does a LOT of work specifically with stuttering. I do remember when I was in 3rd grade a boy in my class was made to speak everything long and drawn out, almost like singing, for a few months. The teacher and SLP made a big deal of explaining it to the class so we wouldn't make fun of him. No idea if that treatment is still being used or not.
Treatment for stuttering seems to be similar to treatment for autism in the sense that there are many different strategies and there are people who had great success with each one, as well as many people who had minimal or no success with each one, some who swear by a combo of strategies, etc. There is no one treatment. For some reason, people who stutter can often do certain things without stuttering; singing is a common one. My husband can sing without stuttering too.
