Staff and Board
Meet the people dedicated to helping you
Our clients come from all over the world. And there’s a reason for that. No other stuttering treatment program delivers a customized, “whole person” approach in the way AIS does.
Before beginning treatment, we meet with each client and evaluate aspects of his or her speech and language skills. In addition to assessing stuttering, we learn how our clients feel about their stuttering. How it impacts their lives. Their relationships. Their goals. And their dreams. From there, we create a customized treatment plan – one that takes a holistic, individualized approach to increasing fluency and confidence.
In the course of a lifetime, the average person has 450,000 conversations. Our mission is to make sure our clients fully participate in every one of them.
Meet the Staff
Led by one of the country’s leading PhD’s in fluency disorders, AIS’ top-tier team is almost unrivaled in their credentials – and how much they care.
Board of Directors
Many of the esteemed members of the AIS Board of Directors have been personally impacted by stuttering. They work diligently and passionately to raise funds for stuttering treatment and to spread public awareness of stuttering.
