It's been my experience that this usually falls on the client and the client alone.* (* denotes a caveat) If the tx goals are realistic, and specifically tailored for that specific client; and if the clinician is doing 100% of what is asked of the client; and if the clinician and client go well beyond the clinic room; and if the client is given daily homework and assignments in which to use these techniques... then it's ultimately a client choice to execute speech techniques. But with that said--motoric speech therapies are feel abnormal, and consistently executing abnormal speech feels very abnormal, and is very difficult. Only when stuttering becomes more of a nuisance than the abnormal (feeling) motoric speech targets do stuttering clients really get serious. Or--that's just been my observation in my self and in others...
