What people say about stuttering therapy

What Our Alumni Say

More than 6,100 people have completed our therapy program since our doors first opened in 1972. It is an illuminating experience to attend our annual reunions and meet our alumni who have been fluent speakers for the last 20 to 30 years. The HCRI experience has had a profound effect on so many of those who have participated.

	I didn�t understand the idea of fluency targets at first. LuAnn was patient in explaining each target to me and made sure that I was practicing the right way. Finally I got it and I am a fluent person.
	I can say my name any time I want to!
	I work in a customer service center and handle lots of telephone calls every day. Without Hollins I could never have done it.
	I�m a computer programmer. The people at Hollins have done a terrific job of making computers work effectively to improve the quality of therapy. Their work with electronics in therapy is outstanding!! I love what they do!!
	My stuttering pattern was unusual, according to my old therapists who didn�t help me. At Hollins, they knew what to do about it and I speak fluently.
	Now I have real freedom of speech!
	When I first called HCRI, I stuttered badly during the call. After treatment, I called to thank them and spoke fluently.
	I got the job I wanted, now that I can talk and express my self easily.
	I joined Toastmasters and won a regional speaking event.
	After Hollins, I became involved in politics and successfully ran for office as a state legislator. Of course, my fluent speech made it all possible. Thanks HCRI.
	I was good at learning languages. However, I stuttered badly, so badly in fact, that I actually broke my teeth during several different bouts of stuttering. I became a corporate trouble shooter after learning how to speak fluently at HCRI.
	I tried other therapies. I thought HCRI probably did the same thing as other therapies. I finally woke up and decided to call Hollins. Now, after attending HCRI, I have the daily blessing of speech!
