I am looking for the time line of remission (i.e. the recovery from (early childhood) stuttering).
About 5% of all children have disfluencies, but only 1% develop persistent developmental stuttering (PDS). I am interessed in how fast the 5% go to the 1% baseline of adulthood. Is it within 1-2 years of stuttering? So after the age of 5 or 7, 80% have recovered.
I am especially interested in the age group 9-13. Can one study therapy effect like in adults, or is there still a natural recovery rate to consider.
If you know of any literature, please let me know.
