Dear Professors, What is spontaneous recovery and what is the process like? (is it just kids who stutter who wake up one day and never stutter again???) What kind of speech therapy techniques (if any) might help with spontaneous recovery in children? Either help with making spontaneous recovery actually happen in a child or speed up the process. Of course, there may be 80% spontaneous recovery. But what can SLPs actually do to help with spontaneous recovery. The rock will fall or not fall eventually, but can you help push it some how? Any evidence? Also, is it ethical for SLPs to take credit for something she did not do, such as spontaneous recovery. 80% spontaneous recovery means that 80% of children who stutter will recover with or WITHOUT speech therapy.
