At the American Institute for Stuttering (AIS) clients discover a place where they know they are understood and supported — a place where they can free their voice.
“I’m talking more. I’m doing more things that scare me.”
People who stutter share the challenges they face due to stuttering, and how therapy at AIS has helped.

Margaret is an amazing speech therapist—professional, kind, and truly effective. She helped me gain confidence and improve my speech in a way that felt natural and encouraging. Highly recommended!
Focus On
Multidirectional approach, not like standard speech therapy. Like the multi-pronged direction involved in speech and communication. Highly recommend.

There are rare people in your life who you meet for the first time and know they will change your life. I have been stuttering for more than 20 years now and Carl is the first therapist who actually understood my stuttering even better than I did. It has resulted in increased confidence for me in all kinds of situations be it social or professional and increased fluency has come as an unexpected byproduct. Not to mention, the financial support they gave me given my current financial status as a grad student.

I've had many types of therapy for stuttering. The AIS approach has been the most helpful, by far. Highly, highly recommended.
