At HCRI, we work each day to improve the lives of people who stutter and have championed this cause for 40 years. Our early research revealed that stuttering is a physical condition – and not caused by mental or emotional factors. These findings led to our developing the first comprehensive and effective behavioral therapy for stuttering.
Since that time, we have continued to raise the bar on stuttering treatment and fluency outcomes through ongoing research, innovation, and creating new standards of clinical excellence.
Our 12-day stuttering therapy program is one-of-a-kind. It’s practical. It’s powerful. And, it puts you in full control of your speech.
During your stuttering treatment, you’ll work with expert clinicians (our “trainers”) and learn new ways of using your speech muscles. You’ll exercise those muscles rigorously and precisely, with the same intensity as an athlete who trains to win. You’ll benefit from specialized fluency tools and ongoing support. And, you’ll reach your finish line by freeing your voice through fluency.

Know Your Likelihood of Success BEFORE Therapy
We’ve treated 6,100+ people, representing a full range of stuttering types and severities. So, you can be assured we have successfully treated a speech condition like yours. It is important to note that not everyone is successful – and there is no “cure” for stuttering. Yet, data show that the vast majority of people become fluent with HCRI therapy. 93% achieve fluency in 12 days and 70-75% retain fluency for the long term. That means you can expect similar results.
