Fact or myth about recovery in young children who stutter Let's start a discussion thread: Most young children recover from stuttering ([source](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22recovery%22+%22stuttering%22+%22research%22)). This could imply that, if they implemented interventions, such as: * speaking slower * increasing self-confidence * stop evaluating speech negatively any longer * becoming insensitive about reactions by others to stuttering * no longer accepting that I am the one who stuttered ([source](https://pure.eur.nl/files/48243924/Repub_117942_O-A.pdf)) * etc etc Result: Then eventually they gave up using these strategies and simply put complete faith in their ability to initiate articulation or execute speech movements. After all, they achieved subconscious fluency - even in moments when they speak faster, speak without confidence, negatively evaluate, become emotional or triggered by other people's reaction, etc. The goal of this post is to discuss the following statement: * "**Young children that keep holding on to strategies to initiate speech production - for 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 years, disrupt the process of achieving subconscious fluency**" **In your own thoughts, what is your viewpoint regarding this statement?** Note, if you are simply answering with '*it's neurological*' then go in-depth, what exactly is the neurological loop of the primary symptom of stuttering, and how does it affect the disruption to initiate speech, etc?
