Sumario:Objective: To investigate how cases of dysfluency, especially those within the limits between normal and pathological, have been diagnosed and the assessment criteria and therapeutic approaches used by speech therapists. Methods: Using a semi-guided interview, speech therapists talked about their conceptions and procedures with stuttering. The interview was recorded and literally transcribed to analyze data, which were organized in topics for discussion. Results: We could observe that stuttering had different approaches and, therefore, assessment and treatment procedures were equally different. Concerning the limits between normal and pathological dysfluent behavior, we noticed that not all interviewed therapists considered its existence. Conclusion: Considering that there are different types of clinical practice in speech therapy, subjects and complaints may be seen, assessed and treated differently. This clearly applies to speech fluency problems, given that there are professionals that focus on symptoms and not on the subject that presents them. Conversely, there are professionals that take into account the subject as a whole, without disregarding the context. Within such aspect, they value individual singularity, which does not comply with standardization of human behaviors into normal and deviant from normal. It was also concluded that the purpose of speech is to allow interpersonal communication, which takes place in different moments, and interruptions are accepted because speech fluency is not absolute in anyone
