The article discusses the issue of quality of life in persistent stuttering. In order to illustrate this phenomenon, outcomes of a case study of 10 adult people who stutter were reported. The aim of this study was to recognize how stuttering can affect the quality of life of adults who struggle with the disorder. Results from the WHOQOL-BREF and OASES questionnaires were presented. In addition, selected categorized statements of the study participants on their perception of the quality of life with regards to stuttering gained during interviews were also cited. At the end of the article practical implications for speech therapy practice in stuttering aiming to improve the quality of life of adult people who stutter were summarized and presented.

Keywords: quality of life (QoL), case study, stuttering/stammering, adult, clinical practice
