title: Fluency outcomes following treatment for those who stutter.
abstract: The efficacy of treatment therapies for stuttering has been questioned recently by Dayalu and Kalinowski. Aspects put forward that raise doubts about stuttering treatment efficacy included posttreatment unnatural speech and high relapse rates. However, this paper examines these claims and puts forward counterclaims suggesting that at least some stuttering therapies have been shown by the best available research to be efficacious.
