“I’m talking more. I’m doing more things that scare 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 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 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.
