Few interventions are specifically designed for adolescents who stutter. We report the effects of integrating Client-Directed Outcome Therapy (CDOT; Duncan, Miller, & Sparks, 2004) into traditional fluency intervention with a 19 year old male. A case study approach was used to explore whether incorporating CDOT measures into his stuttering intervention would yield a positive treatment outcome. Dependent measures included frequency of stuttering, attitude measures, and the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) from CDOT. Possible benefits of using CDOT as a component of stuttering therapy with adolescents are discussed. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Communication Disorders in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Summer Semester, 2009. / April 16, 2009. / Client-Directed Outcome Therapy, Stuttering, Adolescent / Includes bibliographical references. / Lisa Scott, Professor Directing Thesis; Kenn Apel, Committee Member; Shurita Thomas-Tate, Committee Member.
