Stuttering Therapy
Intensive Program
The American Institute's intensive stuttering therapy program for teens and adults is 90 hours over a three-week period with various follow-up options.
go to: Preschoolers | Children | Teens and Adults
The first of the American Institute's missions is to provide universally affordable, state-of-the-art comprehensive, uplifting treatment experiences for preschoolers, school aged children, teens and adults. Comprehensive treatment not only involves working with the physical and psychological manifestations of stuttering but includes reaching out to families, care givers and educators through counseling and education.
Stuttering is a complex, multidimensional disorder that requires a whole person, multi-faceted approach: physical retraining to effectively manage the speech and vocal muscles, work to reduce the fears and eliminate the avoidances, a strengthening in the perception of self, a development of self-management skills and a retooled approach to communicating with others. Comprehensive treatment also includes reaching out to families and care givers through counseling and education. The treatment for young children reflects the Institute's whole person philosophy through the essential involvement of parents, caretakers and teachers.
Our greatest learning from our clients over all of these years, has been that change has to take place on many different levels. As athletes do, we work with both the body and the mind. Being whole person in nature, the treatment process involves working to change how speech is produced and managed and also involves working with the client and families to develop new ways of thinking and how to approach the world with new, informed and empowered attitudes.
What we care about most is that our clients and their families experience a concrete, positive and uplifting experience... one that is life changing and one that gives them the foundation to create freedom in speech and in life.
