Abstract
Purpose
This article will focus on a hypothetical case study to highlight comprehensive assessment and treatment for adolescent children who stutter.
Method
Assessment and treatment are laid out with a literature review utilizing the components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model. Specific assessment and treatment strategies and approaches are discussed.
Results
Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model can help guide clinicians through the assessment and treatment process to ensure that all areas of stuttering are considered.
Conclusion
Comprehensive assessment and treatment helps clinicians address all relevant elements of a stuttering disorder, rather than focusing exclusively on reducing speech disruptions.

Abstract
Coleman, Miller, and Weidner's (2015) recent clinical vignette and tutorial described one very common, broad-based, and theory-driven approach to treating stuttering in a 14-year-old boy. This response suggests that methods based on prolonged speech are better supported in our research literature; are effective, efficient, and well-received by clients; and allow clinicians using the principles of evidence-based practice to address and solve the concerns that clients have raised.
