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.

Joshua’s Friends & Family Speech
On the last day of his teen intensive program in Atlanta, Joshua gave this speech to a group of friends and family.
AIS provides you with the tools to feel comfortable and confident in dealing with your stutter. Such an amazing group of clinicians who really understand the mental and physical components of stuttering. Through AIS, I made leaps and bounds in my speaking ability and could not recommend this place more to others who stutter.

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

AIS gives you practical tools for your personal and professional life. They are supportive and understanding throughout your stuttering journey.

I could barely communicate when I started their class, and now I have all the tools I need to speak. What a world of a difference these people made in my life, I highly highly highly recommend this program and could not imagine my life without them. Thank you all so much <3 After I finished their class I did Toastmasters for 6 months and I would definitely recommend that as continual learning for every single person who takes the class, that also made a huge difference for me.

Multidirectional approach, not like standard speech therapy. Like the multi-pronged direction involved in speech and communication. Highly recommend.
