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.

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

I have had traditional stuttering therapy regarding stuttering techniques and stuttering strategies which helped at times but never actually dealt with the deeper challenges of stuttering. Speech therapy services with AIS has been eye opening for me because for the first time speech therapy means communication and counseling... I feel heard, I feel respected, and encouraged... I have been able to take chances, try new things, get back into things I was passionate about, really finally enjoying living my life as a person who stutters.

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.

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 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.
