This paper presents the results of a continuing dialogue, creating organizational co-operation among three different parties. The parties are The Association for Stutterers in Denmark, two different organizational settings working with the treatment of stuttering, the county-based Institute of Speech and Language, and the municipally based Pedagogical-Psychological Advice Offices. Through ongoing dialogue, the parties have paved the way for implementing new and better organizational facilities, and, hence have facilitated better approaches, e.g., group therapy, for a broader range of school-age children.
