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.

Joshua’s Friends & Family Speech
On the last day of his teen intensive program in Atlanta, Joshua gave this speech to a group of friends and family.
AIS offers a fresh and powerful approach to stuttering therapy. The skilled therapists have tremendous passion for what they do. They know that one-size-doesn't-fit-all in stuttering therapy and so they individualize therapy to each person. If you're thinking about making positive changes to live well with stuttering, AIS is a fantastic guide. Go for it, you won't regret it.

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.

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.
