Early speech therapy intervention with a Speech-Language Pathologist who specializes in stuttering leads to a higher rate of recovery.

Clinical outcomes data proves the effectiveness speech therapy has on one’s life. Yet speech therapy is not deemed medically necessary by most insurance companies.

After a medical evaluation a person who stutters is too often denied medical coverage for follow-up speech therapy for his/her stutter. This lack of coverage means high out-of-pocket costs for families who are left with the unfair choice to forego speech therapy just to cover household expenses such as putting food on the table or keeping the lights on.
