Summary/Abstract: There are different treatments accessible for people who stutter. They vary from direct interventions to those targeting to relieve the anxiety and other issues that can accompany the disorder. This paper focuses on two different approaches implemented by the author in her clinical practice with one particular client: fluency shaping and stuttering modification. Understanding those approaches and the continuum that lies between them can lead to a holistic view of the person who stutters. In the first part of this paper, the principles underlying both approaches will be reported and compared, and their strengths and weaknesses will be identified. In the second part, the author will share her personal experience and reflection regarding the design of an individualized treatment, tailored to the needs of the person who stutters.
