SUCCESSFUL Stuttering/FLUENCY Treatment for Teens & Adults

“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)

Stuttering therapy is customized for teens and adults on an individual basis. Therapy is offered weekly or intensively. The goals of therapy are improved fluency combined with effective communication and confidence to overcome difficult speaking situations.

Lori herself is a graduate of The Precision Fluency Shaping Program in Hollins, Virginia. Lori not only teaches these tools, but uses them herself providing enhanced opportunities for transfer and maintenance. She also added a maintenance component that encourages increased fluency on a daily basis in realistic life situations.  Lori overcame a severe stuttering disorder, therefore she is able to preach what she teaches, so to speak. Additionally, practice groups are offered to provide opportunities for using newly learned skills with others who stutter in functional settings.
