Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss the timing of terminating treatment for stuttering in 4 different age groups. The groups consist of children of preschool age, school-age children, young adults, and adults. The results were as follows: 1) The preschool children improved in fluency in comparison with the other 3 groups; 2) Treatment for most cases terminated within 3 years; 3) In many cases, the timing of termination corresponded with a change of the patients' life stage.
