What to Expect During Therapy

Our therapy program is hard work -12 intensive days where you´ll spend 100 hours working at a level of rigor and precision that will be unfamiliar to you. Expert clinicians will guide you, one step at a time, through a comprehensive system of retraining your speech muscles to achieve fluency.Just as an athlete trains to become proficient in a sport, you train your speech muscles to become proficient at speaking fluently.

As part of therapy, you´ll use advanced electronics, proprietary computer software,and an iPhone/iPod Touch app to practice your speech and measure your daily progress. Plus, you´ll apply your new fluency skills in a range of daily speaking situations, which will enable you to build confidence in real-world settings and ultimately “own your fluency.”

While HCRI stuttering treatment requires immense commitment and determination, you´ll also receive tremendous support and encouragement to help you succeed.

When you return home, you will be asked to work daily for a period of two weeks on a set of brief fluency skill reinforcement activities. Formal practice will gradually be reduced, as you become increasingly proficient in using your new fluency skills in daily life.

Post-Therapy Support

Your gains in stuttering therapy are directly proportional to the quality of work you put forth during therapy and the effort you invest in polishing your newly acquired fluency skills when you return home. That´s why HCRI provides an extensive array of post-therapy supportand resources that are available to all program graduates who wish to use them.
