“CFST’s approach has truly hit home with our 10 year old son. The speech strategies he learned are wonderful tools that help him during hard times. Working on attitudinal issues helped our son deal with comments about his stuttering and helped him feel okay about his stuttering. The school-age continuation group makes a huge difference. Knowing other kids who are working on the same issues provides an extra dose of confidence.”

“After years of frustration with traditional speech therapies from some of the most respected professionals and universities in the country, we felt our son, with Down syndrome, was just not progressing. CFST’s method of teaching our son connected with him faster than any other process we had seen.”

“When I started, my speech was
not good at all. I was one of those really severe stuttering cases. The therapy helped me immensely. It has given me a flow of speech so
I can say what I want. Now that I speak better, I have confidence
and can accept myself.”

“CFST has done wonders for my speech fluency. It has taught me that stuttering is a very complex issue, it involves both physical and psychological aspects, and there’s no overnight cure. I have learned that speech therapy is a gradual and ongoing process, which was something that I was previously unwilling to accept. I now speak
with more fluency than ever before, as a result of the methods that I learned at CFST.”

“Before my therapy at CFST I had gone through many programs, but felt pretty bad about my progress.
I still felt like I was a severe stutterer. I had no freedom. The speech skills I learned at CFST helped me pull back. They gave me the strength to go into situations I previously wouldn’t have been able to speak in. Now I am a strong, confident speaker.”

“The time, effort, and money I
spent in CFST’s therapy program has been the most valuable invest-ment in my life. The rewards have been enormous. It has given me
the skills and confidence to talk to people, to make friends, to con-verse with colleagues at work, and to gain financial stability. Most of all, the program helped me to hear my own voice.”

“My therapy at CFST has made
a tremendous difference in my ability to manage my speech.
The therapy is particularly effective because it combines a sophisticated behavioral approach with an em-phasis on developing the right attitude. Dr. Allen’s professional competence is combined with a
very personal commitment.”
