Six months ago, an SLP evaluated Molly, a 4-year-old, and reported that her fluency development was within normal limits. Based on this information, what is the most appropriate current conclusion about whether she needs fluency intervention?

• A. Molly has a persistent stuttering disorder requiring therapy.
• B. Molly's fluency development was within normal limits at the previous evaluation, and no reevaluation is needed.
• C. Molly's fluency issues are severe and require immediate intervention.
• D. There is insufficient information to determine whether intervention is needed.

Answer: (B)

A child who previously showed fluency within normal limits and now has no current signs of disfluency or related problems does not need fluency intervention. If there are no observable issues or impact on communication, there isn’t evidence to justify therapy. The responsible approach is to monitor and, if concerns arise later, reevaluate then. In this scenario, the best conclusion is that no reevaluation or intervention is needed at this time.
