Joshua’s Friends & Family Speech

AIS is a wonderful organization, they do an amazing job helping people. I would highly recommend it to any person in need.

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 a client of AIS for a little over two years now and it is honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. As a lifelong stutterer and someone who just did not respond to typical speech therapy, this place has opened up a whole new world for me, not just for stuttering treatment, but mental health as well. At AIS, they treat the whole person, not just the speech. I am now a part of a community of stutterers I never knew existed. AIS has been incredibly freeing for me. I will never go anywhere else.

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!
