This paper presents fluency disorders in three types of stuttering syn
dromes with etiological considerations. The syndromes consist of affec
tive, behavioral and cognitive components useful for fluency assessmen
t and establishment of therapy goals with adolescents who stutter. The
ultimate goal of the treatment program is a feeling of fluency contro
l rather than actual fluency. A therapy process for fluency disordered
adolescents is suggested which outlines four stages with goals and ob
jectives for each stage. Behavior techniques for eliciting a feeling o
f fluency control are also included. Finally, a case history illustrat
es the therapy process for an adolescent with a fluency disorder.
