Abstract
This study reports on a course of speech therapy for a boy with severe stuttering as well as other problems such as underdeveloped cooperative motor control. Along with speech therapy, general developmental support was provided over a period of five years. Motor coordination training and psychological support were important parts of the program. As a result of the treatment, the boy's stuttering improved remarkably. In addition, both the boy and his mother came to accept the stuttering which remained.
