Outcome in therapies: for stuttering are related to the time, attention & intention of the SLT & patient as well as the SLT's expertise. Any behavioral treatment program requires an assessment of impairment at baseline, specific treatment goals, data collection & re-evaluation every 3-6 months to determine treatment efficacy. Adding psychotherapy for speech-related anxiety may ^ rate of progress & generalization.
