The statement 'Sixty to eighty percent of adults show substantial improvement as a result of speech therapy.' is made.

My observation is that most stutterers show a temporary improvement after physical or mechanical speech therapy. It never seems to last though. Without changing the mindset of a stutterer there is just no hope of a permanent improvement.
