Are you concerned about stuttering—for yourself or your child?

Parents, do you ever wake up at 2 a.m. worrying about your child’s speech?
Are you an adult who feels anxious or fearful about speaking?

Stuttering can impact many parts of life, including:

  • Fear of speaking

  • Low self-esteem

  • Difficulty saying your own name

  • Avoiding or disliking conversations

  • Challenges telling a story

  • Interviewing for a job

  • Struggles making and keeping friends

About Me

I am Lori Melnitsky, an experienced speech pathologist, specialist in stuttering and recovered person who stutters.

As I have walked in your shoes as a person who stutters
and a parent of a child who struggled, I know what is like to worry and struggle speaking, I founded All Island Speech and Stuttering Therapy over 20 years ago to help children and adults who stutter speak
more fluently and with confidence. We all deserve to use our voice and be heard. Together we can work for you to enjoy talking and 
communicate effectively.
