I am an board recognized SLP in stuttering. I have a question about recovery in the younger children. During the course of treatment of these children, I often see the severe dysfluencies go away (like tension and secondaries), put part word repetitions remain along with nonstuttering like dysfluencies. If the tension is gone, when and how do we decide that they can discontinue therapy. Sometimes I start doing therapy less often and if the stuttering doesn't change, work towards discharge. Are there any guidelines regarding this? Thank you in advance.
