Abstract
In the present paper, the authors review and evaluate the prospective and retrospective studies relative to spontaneous recovery from stuttering in children. The authors conclude that the frequently cited 80% spontaneous recovery figure is too high. The authors propose that speech-language pathologists abandon the concept of spontaneous recovery when devising clinical management procedures for the stuttering child.Keywords
