Our five year old son (in kindergarden) had some episodes of suttering which began at age three and got progressivly worse. During his 4th year he had an episode which lasted a few weeks and was very upsetting for him and us. The suttering eventually subsided, and we began seeking the help of a LSP who recommended a twelve week treatment cycle. We also had his public school speech therapist evaluate him, she did not recommend immediate therapy as his stuttering had subsided. He has had approximately four private sessions and as a family we have benefitted from the sessions and have made some adjustments at home. We are now confused as to weather we should continue with the expensive private sessions or not. Please advise.
