Purpose: Because of the noted increase in dysfluency among service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, this article describes differentiation between the various types of fluency as well as an evaluation and treatment course of a service member returning from war with the comorbid diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder, mild traumatic brain injury, and resulting stuttering.

Method: The subject of this case study signed a consent on his admission to National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) for use of any clinical information for research purposes. The patient-centered method of his evaluation and treatment is one standard for NICoE's 4-week treatment program.
