Abstract

The implication is that intensive therapy courses can be helpful to some participants who stutter.

“…In the 'speech motor' group, reductions in percentage of syllables that are stuttered were reported varying from 22% to 96%. For 'speech motor plus cognitive', the one paper 70 using this measure found a 38% reduction in percentage of syllables that are stuttered. Among the 'multiple components' group, reductions of 52% and 89% were described and a 36.5% and 63.5% improvement in a comparison paper evaluating ELU and SMT interventions, respectively.…”

Data on self-reported severity, situation avoidance and quality of life confirmed these positive outcomes, however the authors noted considerable individual variation in response to the intervention.…”

Webcam Delivery of the Camperdown Program for Adolescents Who Stutter: A Phase II Trial

“…Studies that have reported on adolescent participants typically either have small participant numbers (Bray & Kehle, 1996;Hearne, Packman, Onslow, & O'Brian, 2008;Hewat, Onslow, Packman, & O'Brian, 2006) or have combined adolescent data with those from school-aged or adult clients, making interpretation of the results difficult (Antipova, Purdy, Blakeley, & Williams, 2008;Craig et al, 1996;Cream et al, 2010;Euler, Von Gudenberg, Jung, & Neumann, 2009;Laiho & Klippi, 2007;Langevin & Boberg, 1993).…”
