What the first appointment may need to clarify.
Assessment is selected according to the history and clinical question. Not every person needs every component.
The goal is better communication, not simply chasing a perfectly fluent score.
Therapy is individualised. Depending on age, needs and goals, it may include fluency-management strategies, reducing struggle or avoidance, communication confidence, caregiver guidance and support for participation in real speaking situations.

Common questions about this pathway.
Should a young child who stutters be assessed?
Assessment can help distinguish the pattern of disfluency, identify risk and impact, and decide whether monitoring, parent guidance or therapy is appropriate.
Do you see adults who stutter?
Yes. Adult assessment considers the lived experience of stuttering, current communication demands, previous therapy and the person’s own goals.
Does therapy only count the number of stutters?
No. Frequency is only one part of assessment. Tension, avoidance, reactions, confidence and participation can be just as important.
