The American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology hosted a discussion on this topic in 1997 (American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 6 (2). Some types of therapy, such as Lidcombe, can more easily show an effect, since the child's speech appears to change immediately upon implementation of the program. In cases where remission is more gradual, cause and effect are more difficult to link. This is a good question and researchers are working on it.
