Stuttering in children: Kristina talks about her daughter's stuttering therapy at AIS
Kristina talks about being the parent of a child who stutters and their experiences receiving therapy at the American Institute for Stuttering.
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.

Looked for many other places to do therapy but did not felt like those were the places because I felt they were trying to sell the magic potion to cure stuttering and make me fluent which I felt didn't exist. But after coming in contact with AIS, I was able to know how to live with stuttering and how to feel free and less anxious even while stuttering... They also gave me financial assistance to help me. I couldn't recommend enough of this place. Would give more stars if Google allowed me.

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 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.

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.

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.
