Our Approach: Evidence-Based and Results-Driven
This fluency program is grounded in evidence-based principles and combines fluency shaping techniques with cognitive and emotional support.
​
Clients are taught structured fluency shaping strategies such as easy onsets, light articulatory contacts, and breath coordination to improve speech control and reduce tension.
​
At the same time, the program addresses the cognitive and emotional aspects of stuttering, including avoidance, fear of speaking, and negative thought patterns. Clients are supported in gradually increasing participation and building confidence in real-life communication.
​
This approach is based on principles of motor learning and cognitive-behavioral support, which are essential for lasting change in both speech and communication confidence.
You will start to see results in less than three weeks.

“I cannot thank Lori enough for helping me control my stuttering and be more fluent. I did not want to accept. I could barely say my name, When we started working together my mindset literally was, I stutter, no one wants to listen to me. I now say. I stutter, can speak with confidence and say my name. Great program. Tk you"
