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

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.

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.

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.

Working with AIS was a life-changing experience for me that I would recommend to anyone that feels held back by having a stutter. With their support, I was able to move past the constant fear of stuttering, and find confidence in what I have to say. Thank you to Chaya and the entire AIS team!
