Finding AIS and working with Heather has given me a community and supportive environment that understands the complexity of both stuttering and the stuttering journey. Their philosophy and holistic approach to stuttering therapy exemplifies the importance of addressing the mental health challenges associated with stuttering, showing that sometimes speech therapy is less about speech and more about therapy. There aren’t enough words to fully express how thankful I am, I can’t thank everyone at AIS enough for supporting me and helping me learn to embrace my stuttering and be more comfortable taking up space and time.

AIS changed my life. They helped me gain confidence with my stuttering and they helped me become a more effective communicator.

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

We had my son evaluated here 11 years ago when he was 3. The evaluation was thorough and the practitioners were gentle, caring, and understanding. They gave us a clear understanding of his case, and equipped us with the knowledge to find appropriate therapy near our home.
