The reality is that very few who stutter into adulthood will recover. There is currently no ”cure” for stuttering, and I don’t think any serious SLP would promise or even overstate that possibility. I haven’t seen any real evidence that spontaneously losing a stutter is related to speech therapy. The responsible thing for SLPs to do for the prognosis is to focus on acceptance and teaching how to function as a stutterer.
