Weekend Workshop for Adults who Stutter

Saturday and Sunday, April 29-30, 10am-5pm

This workshop is for past and present AIS clients who wish to reduce individual speaking fears and avoidances, and push beyond their personal comfort zones, with practical application to their daily lives. We will complete cognitive restructuring exercises to change negative thoughts that feed tense, avoidant stuttering into more helpful thoughts. We will then conduct desensitization exercises - both in our office and outside - to reduce negative emotional reactions to stuttering, and explore ways to reduce individual avoidance behaviors. You will have multiple opportunities to experience desensitization in challenging, real-life speaking situations. Before you leave, you will have a plan for continuing your journey toward communicating more fearlessly.

The workshop will be held on April 29th and 30th (Saturday and Sunday), from 10am to 5pm at the AIS office in NYC. You must be able to attend both days in order to sign up. Financial assistance is available.

Space is limited. To sign up, contact Bridget at speakfreely@stutteringtreatment.org or call (212) 633-6400. For more information on special events happening at AIS, check out our new and improved Events Page on our website.
