Avoidance Reduction Therapy for Stuttering (ARTS^©) is a powerful approach to stuttering therapy based on the pioneering work of Dr. Joseph Sheehan and Vivian Sisskin. Here at AIS, we offer ARTS^© therapy for clients interested in a group experience, focusing on increasing speech efficiency and spontaneity, developing confidence and empowerment as a person who stutters, and ultimately, living fully into the joy of communication. 

‍

We are excited to offer an in-person weekend workshop dedicated to exploring the principles of ARTS^© therapy. Participants can expect to:

‍

1. Develop an action plan in creating individualized short-term and long-term goals 
2. Experience support, connection, and accountability from others who stutter working towards their own goals
3. Gain confidence in pushing their comfort zone in functional, “real world” activities (e.g., mock job interviewing, small talk, public speaking, phone calls, communicating outside of the clinic, etc.) 

‍

The workshop will be held on Saturday, 6/24 from 10:00am - 4:30 EST in our NYC office.

Due to the generosity of our donors, financial assistance is available.
