I have met several SLPs who admitted to me privately that the therapy that is provided in schools is next to useless and may cause more harm than good because many SLPs know hardly anything about stuttering and are unconfortable about being asked to treat it, but they do so anyway because to not do so would jeopradize their employment. The therapy provided is usually token, only about an hour once every two weeks or even less. Even then, it raises false expectations in the child and the parents. This is not a good situation.
