Hi, most Chinese therapists provide therapy like the fluency shaping speech, or prolonged speech. This therapy, I remember, was first introduced to China in middle 1940s by a Mr. Zhang, who learned it in Japan. Also in 1950s another therapist learned something from then USSR. Of course, the therapies changed a little from generation to generation, but most of them sticks to techneques like gental onset, soft articulation, etc. These year, some therapists diverted to psychology treatment, as you can see in the paper by Mr. Qingsong Li in this internet conference. Some therapies even developed treatments, including therapies, devices, medicines, that seem "ridiculous" to most PWS. Anyway, it is developing fast, and I wish, years after Chinese PWS can benefit from researches on them. Best regards, Albert
