Currently there are few published reports exploring what it is that children and their parents wish to see change or happen as part of therapy. A process of eliciting hopes or expectations for therapy using Solution Focused Brief Therapy (de Shazer, 1985) is routinely used at the Michael Palin Centre (MPC) with children who stutter and their parents. This qualitative study aimed to explore what children who stutter and their parents expect from therapy and whether their hopes are aligned.
