This study was motivated by reported similarities in vocal tract dynamics in stuttering and spastic dysphonia. The effects of a stuttering therapy programme with an adult with spastic dysphonia were observed. Subjective and objective measures obtained pre- and post-therapeutically included a qualitative analysis, laryngographic tracings, and fibre optic examinations. Results showed subtle improvements on all measures suggesting improved laryngeal behaviours. Findings are discussed in relation to therapeutic utility.
