Welcome to All Island Speech & Stuttering Therapy

SERVING LONG ISLAND/QUEENS-SPECIALIZING IN STUTTERING THERAPY FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS, LIDCOMBE TRAINED, PROMPT CERTIFIED THERAPY & ACCENT REDUCTION :

DO YOU STUTTER?  Stuttering is a complex disorder that MUST be treated by a speech pathologist who specializes in stuttering and fluency therapy. Only then can you improve fluency and learn to communicate effectively without struggling to speak. DON’T WAIT!  Early Intervention is key to trying to eliminate stuttering at a young age. It is equally important for older children, teens and adults to learn strategies to improve fluency.  I experienced the anguish of waiting too long. I don’t want to see that happen to you or your child. 

DO YOU AVOID?

-saying your own name?

-raising your hand in class?

-talking to your boss?

-answering the phone?

IS IT BECAUSE YOU STUTTER? I USED TO ANSWER YES TO ALL THE QUESTIONS ABOVE UNTIL I LEARNED WAYS TO IMPROVE MY FLUENCY, DECREASE SPEAKING ANXIETY AND BECOME A CONFIDENT SPEAKER.  I STUTTERED SEVERELY THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD AND EARLY ADULT  YEARS.  I DON’T ANYMORE AND CAN HELP YOU BE MORE FLUENT. I LEARNED HOW TO USE EASY ONSETS, CONTINUOUS PHONATION, PROPER BREATH CONTROL, AND DECREASE SPEAKING ANXIETY.  IT FREED ME FROM THE BONDAGE OF STUTTERING SEVERELY.

Words From Some of Lori’s Clients:

“Thank you for helping me conquer my fear of speaking on the phone. I couldn’t have done it without your encouragement and support. Knowing that you use the tools you teach was a tremendous help to me” (Chris B., A 26 year old female who stutters – Long Island, NY.)

“I don’t avoid words anymore when I talk to my patients.  Without Lori’s help, I would not have been able to say what I needed to at my job.  Lori was an inspiration to me. It was helpful to have a speech therapist who stutters and understood my fears. “ (Dr. Jin Parks, Queens, NY)

“Lidcombe stopped my son from stuttering.  I can’t express how thankful I am for bringing my son to Lori. My son stuttered severely and wouldn’t look at me when he talked.  Now, he is fluent. He loved the daily speech sessions and I am so relieved that he doesn’t stutter anymore.” (Laura B., Rockville Center, NY, parent of a 5 year old)
