Lori Melnitsky's All Island Speech is definitely a leader in the field, offering innovative direct-approach methods for treating disfluent speech - particularly in young children. Lori was especially great in working with our preschool-aged son who stutters and was able to perform her unique magic through seemingly endless age-appropriate activities and games to keep him engaged - both at home with us and in sessions at her office while delivering the Lidcombe Program, resulting in significant improvement in both our son's speech fluency and overall speech clarity. She definitely knows what she's talking about and has a very caring and thoughtful way about her, backed by her many years of experience as a speech therapist and as a parent. And as someone who overcame a severe speech disorder herself, Lori infuses her methodology with a particularly personal feel and urgency that is super-effective in reaching her clients.
If you are serious about treating speech disfluency no matter the age or severity, you can do no better than to choose All Island Speech. THANK YOU, LORI!! read more
