Awareness and Desensitization
Voluntary Stuttering One-Night Refresher
Learn about voluntary stuttering in theory and in practice. We will discuss the various purposes for voluntary stuttering and the many forms it can take, based on the goal at hand. Participants will then be encouraged to experiment and discover how "pseudo" stuttering could be useful and applicable. Participants will practice voluntary stuttering here in the office as well as outside, with employees at local stores.
next course: coming soon
Clean Stuttering & Desensitization One-Night Refresher
Spend the evening increasing awareness of what's currently going on with your speech, stuttering, and communication. We will discuss the topic of "avoiding avoidance" and review and practice clean stuttering. We will then go out into speaking situations outside of the clinic to advertise and/or voluntary stutter, and conduct stuttering surveys. Have you forgotten what if felt like to "walk the coals?"
next course: coming soon
Awareness and Desensitization One-Day Refresher
Join fellow AIS alumni for one day to increase your awareness of tension, avoidance, and secondary behaviors that may be creeping back in. Boost your confidence as we get on the phone to speak and to advertise and practice advertising in speaking situations outside of the clinic. Focus on your eye contact to get back on track.
next course: coming soon
Awareness, Desensitization, and Speech Modification Three-Day Refresher
Spend three solid days increasing awareness of what's currently going on with your speech, stuttering, and communication. We will revisit tallying, mirror work, and focus on eye contact. Get on the phones and into speaking situations outside of the clinic to advertise, conduct stuttering surveys, clean stutter, and voluntarily stutter. Refresh the physical speech modification strategy of pull-outs or light contact prolongations.
next course: coming soon
Integrated Refresher Therapy
Integrated Two- or Three-Day Refresher
Spend two or three days (client’s choice) intensively refreshing the concepts and strategies that you learned during past therapy. We will get out to the stores to advertise, visit the park to do surveys, and become aware of what is going on with your stuttering at the moment. Then we will refresh your physical management strategies including prolongations, pull-outs, self-corrections, and vocal fold management/breathing.
next courses: Thursday March 8, Friday March 9 and Saturday March 10, 10:00am - 5:00pm at the AIS office
TUESDAY NIGHT SUPPORT/PRACTICE GROUP
A weekly gathering for current and former clients. Come and discuss various topics related to stuttering. This is also a great opportunity to practice your speech management skills in a group setting. It costs $20 to attend this group. No need to RSVP - just show up!
