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.”

We took our son to the American Institute for Stuttering at the age of 3 after not being happy with the therapy he was receiving locally. For years we commuted to the city for therapy. As my son got older and did not have the time to commute regularly, we did therapy sessions via Skype. I would not go anywhere else.

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

Working with AIS was a life-changing experience for me that I would recommend to anyone that feels held back by having a stutter. With their support, I was able to move past the constant fear of stuttering, and find confidence in what I have to say. Thank you to Chaya and the entire AIS team!

AIS has helped me overcome my stuttering with a truly holistic approach to treatment and to communicate effectively with anyone I want to, and I have since had the confidence and ability to join the professional workforce and start a family.
Mordechai F.
I have been with AIS for 15 years. I started when I was 7 years old when I was diagnosed with a severe stutter that ranked between 85 and 95% on the severity index for stuttering. I am now the CEO of a medical diagnostics startup and I am consulting on two other healthcare startups which I am only able to do because AIS helped me free my voice and control and live with my stutter. I will forever be grateful.
