A newly evolving aspect of stuttering is the emphasis on toddlers and parents advocating for their children to be treated early on. Since 3rd party payers focus on Evidence Based Practice and the majority of toddlers will recover on their own, how is therapy for this population justified? CWS are definitely at risk for being lifelong stutterers, but to what extent would insurance companies use the large percentage of child stutterers recovering to their advantage?
