Article Abstract
An intensive stuttering treatment program for military service members is described. Over a 10-year period, 117 stutters have been treated in a program in which graded airflow, tension/relaxation, electromyographic biofeedback, and a modified hierarchical desensitization procedure have been used to obtain and maintain normally fluent speech. All patients treated have met the criterion of less than 1% stuttered words. Of 57 patients followed for from 3-36 months after treatment, 42 (74%) have maintained normally fluent speech.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term stability of objective and subjective psychosocial improvements and fluency more than 10 years after participation in an intensive stuttering therapy camp.
Method: Ten former participants in intensive stuttering therapy (IST; mean age at time of intervention 14; 2 years) participated in this study. Outcomes of the IST at that time were assessed with the Stuttering Severity Instrument (SSI-3; Riley, 1994) and a questionnaire to measure the psychosocial impact of stuttering.

Machine learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to define states and predict future events are commonplace activities of modern life. However, their penetration into acute care medicine has been slow, stuttering and uneven.

Article Synopsis
- Speech and language therapists face difficulties in providing effective intervention for children with speech sound disorder (SSD) due to service limitations and family circumstances, which affects therapy intensity.
- Empowering parents to implement interventions at home, supported by digital health tools, may increase therapy access and engagement for children with SSD.
- A realist review will investigate the factors that contribute to successful parent-led interventions, focusing on contexts and outcomes, with input from an expert steering group to refine the findings.
