Adults — Stuttering
What if:
You have trouble saying your name?
You can’t say the words what you want to?
You’re afraid to speak on the phone or order food in a restaurant?
You’re afraid that people will discover that you stutter?
Talk to us.
Our experience shows us…
As an adult, your desire to change is the most important variable in determining the right time to speak to a qualified professional about stuttering.
In our work, we help adults gain skills and confidence in speech.
You are not alone. No matter how long you’ve spent hiding and avoiding speaking situations, it’s never too late! Through our work, adults learn how other adults have dealt with their stuttering. We will help you speak with increased freedom of speech – at work, with friends and with family.
Our approach fuses two important dynamics for people who stutter: “self-adjustment” (speech strategies) and “self-acceptance” (dealing with speech attitudes and values)

My return to work is only a testimony of the time and efforts that you have put into helping me with this personal and professional issue (my stuttering). Im back at work, I’m more open about my stuttering, I’m doing much better. I’m speaking with my attendings instead of worrying about how I will perform during speaking situations. Thank you so much for everything.

My mouth could barely emit a sound, and being a teacher and mother of five boys, this was a real problem. An ENT said I needed surgery. But my husband (a worldwide lecturer) had reduced his nodules with Dr. Schneider, and he recommended I try the voice therapy. After three sessions with Dr. Schneider, I am back, storytelling in two languages, and singing in a melodious voice I thought I’d never hear again. Dr. Schneider is one of the great messengers of healing.

Talk to us.
We provide independent consultations and private treatments for adults.
Our extensive training and experience allows us to provide an eclectic approach with a holistic perspective.
Adults seek our CONSULTATIONS for an honest and independent assessment.
We use understandable and meaningful terminology to describe adults’ strengths and weaknesses, and what can/should be done to do better.
In TREATMENT, we listen to adults. No-one knows “you” better than “your-self.”
We work together with adults to develop effective strategies.
We motivate adults to believe they can succeed, and we make sure they achieve everything they can.
We are experienced and trained in working with adults:
Articulation – we help adults produce clearer speech, sounding more intelligible and pleasing to themselves.
Attentional Issues (ADHD) – we help adults achieve greater attention with cognitive-behavioral strategies (acquiring skills like organization and time management), and we are comfortable discussing medications, exercise and alternative treatments to make sure adults function best at work and at home.
Social Abilities – we help adults develop social thinking increased social skills from the inside-out. We recognize each adult’s individuality, their strengths and weaknesses. We work to maximize adults’ social success in our socially complex workplaces, homes and communities.
Reading - We help adults with dyslexia. No matter long they’ve had trouble reading, we help adults find success (and joy) in reading – online, magazines, books and texts (English / Hebrew)
Other learning disabilities – we use our training and experience to understand, engage and motivate adult learners and professionals with a wide range of learning profiles.

People always turned to me for advise, but they often remarked that I mumbled my words making it hard to understand. At Schneider Speech, I learned a fairly easy and comfortable way to sharpen my speech, and people compliment me at work – and at home!
