Summary/Abstract: The objective of the paper is to inform about a rehabilitative method for the treatment of stuttering: the rehabilitation program is called MIDA-SP (Multidimensional, Integrated, Differentiated, Art-mediated – Stuttering Program) and is offered to people who stutter of all ages groups. The MIDA-SP provides a multidimensional, integrated, differentiated and art-mediated treatment and is made up of various components which: speech and language therapy, transfer activity and art-mediated activity. Each component has different objectives and can be modulated by the speech therapist or by the fluency specialist especially in micro-objectives. Because stuttering is a multifactorial disorder and the non-linear iteration of the various factors generates different manifestations in each person, the MIDA-SP provides a multidisciplinary assessment including both overt and covert aspects of stuttering. This assessment allows the profiling of people who stutter through the MIDA-SP profiling system. The MIDA-SP Profiling System allows you to assign a profile to the person who stutters based on the severity level of both covert and overt aspects of stuttering. There are 4 profiles. According the MIDA-SP Profiling System the person who stutters can be addressed in an individualized rehabilitation program that varies in terms of duration and dose of the different components.
