Abstract
Stuttering can co-occur with phonological and/or language impairment in a nontrivial
number of children. This article provides a framework for addressing concomitant phonology/language
impairment and stuttering through the application of the World Health Organization's
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.
Described is a multifactorial approach to understanding stuttering, the application
of the ICF to treating children who stutter with concomitant disorders, and models
for structuring-related therapy. A case study is explored to illustrate this process
and includes a sample treatment plan with goals, short-term objectives, and sample
activities.
