Everything that I have heard from children and adults who have undergone therapy as children indicates to me that the success of therapy has been very limited. I would love to hear case studies where the child has reverted to spontaneous fluency or managed fluency and not have become a covert stutterer. Can you point me to some of these? Given the poor track record don't you think that it is time that these children be provided with care from a psychologist (or mental health professional) to help the child deal with the distress and other emotional factors including hopelessness and lack of motivation and a SLP to show them some speech techniques?
