Abstract
A case is presented of a 21-year-old student who demonstrated sudden o nset of severe stammering speech. The findings of speech assessments o ver a 1-year period post-onset are described and discussed. In additio n a comprehensive description of the client's own perceptions of her d ifficulties during the same time scale is recounted. The case demonstr ates a possible pattern of recovery and the profound psychological imp lications in the event of acquired stammering in adulthood.
