Ursula Thank you for your comments. Although I can’t tell you the long term affects of CBT for people who stutter, I can tell you that CBT has been used for a variety of psychological problems such as anxiety and depression and there is evidence that the effects are long-term. Since the goal of this type of intervention is for a client to be able to apply these principles by oneself, it would seem to make sense that the effects should be for the long term. With simpler, age-appropriate language, I think that CBT can also be used with children. Best, Barbara
