Read What People Are Saying About Lori Melnitsky

“I was starting a job with a new airline and my speech started to deteriorate with the stress of training. I thought I was not going to be able to make it through the rigors of the training environment and initial flying experience in a new plane with new things that had to be said on demand. Lori helped me a great deal by getting me back to the fundamentals of speaking that I knew from therapy, but was not applying them properly. After five sessions with Lori, I was able to more comfortably continue with the training process and now I am progressing well with continued practice. Lori was great at getting me back on target.” (Matt, airline pilot, adult who stutters)

“Exciting News: A 15 year old who stutters has joined the high school radio club. “Metal Head Matt” as he is referred to by his co-hosts, feels his stuttering does not stop him. “Metal Head Matt” says “he is immune to letting stuttering prevent him from doing what he wants to do.” His advice to those who stutter is to use your fluency tools! “Thanks Lori for using the fluency tools with me in speech therapy. It is really helping improve my speech!” (Way to go Metal Head Matt)

“Lila started kindergarten this month. We wanted to let you know that she was screened by her school speech therapist this week. When we told the speech therapist that Lila had received services for stuttering, she said she would have never known. Lila does not stutter anymore and we can’t thank you enough.” (Kelli and Matt, parents of Lila)

“Thanks for all you have done for our son. Although Pete still stutters, his fluency has improved greatly. We are no longer embarrassed to talk about stuttering. Thanks for helping us realize stuttering can be managed and is nothing to be ashamed of (Parents of a 9 year old boy).

“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” (A 26 year old female who stutters – Long Island, NY.)

“We were terrified when we walked into your office for the first time. We were told by our pediatrician that our son would outgrow his stuttering and to ignore it. Our son could hardly say a word. We were very nervous and you spent time both in person and on the phone alleviating our fears. Believe it or not, we can’t get Justin to stop talking now. We appreciate you involving us in his therapy. We can’t thank you enough for all you have done. Even if Justin starts stuttering again in the future, we now know who to turn to!” (Justin, age 6, East Northport, NY)

“I truly believe my son would not be talking in sentences today if it wasn’t for your help.” (Linda, parent of an 11 year old autistic boy)

“Thank you for helping my son. We are so glad he received PROMPT therapy from a Certified therapist like you. Our family can now understand him.” (Jennifer, Hicksville, NY, parent of a 3 year old).
