Extensive Post-Therapy Support

At HCRI, we are your partner in fluency for life. The individualized attention, encouragement, and fluency tools from which you benefit during treatment continue when you return home with our extensive post-therapy support and resources.

HCRI iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad App

A convenient practice tool, the HCRI app evaluates, scores, and provides immediate feedback on speech skills taught during HCRI therapy.

FluencyNet Subscription

Available for both PC and Apple platforms, this internet-based home practice system helps individuals review and fine-tune targets using the same physical measurements used during HCRI therapy. Each program participant receives a free one-year subscription.

Practice Groups

Participating in one of the HCRI client-led fluency practice groups across the country or joining phone practice sessions that are regularly scheduled helps alumni maintain fluency target quality.

Refresher Courses

Held throughout the year, refresher courses are provided for alumni who wish to return to HCRI to further hone their fluency skills, should the need arise.

The HCRI Difference

Depth and Breadth of
Experience
For 40 years, we’ve researched and treated stuttering, made presentations around the globe, trained therapists across the U.S., and partnered with national agencies on stuttering research. We’ve helped more than 6,100 people, representing all types and severities of stuttering. We have the experience and know how to help you on the path to fluency.
Stuttering Therapy
Leadership and Innovation
HCRI is recognized as a leader in stuttering therapy. We developed the first comprehensive behavioral stuttering treatment, as well as the first speech measurement and feedback system for therapy. We continually research and upgrade our treatment program, based on new discoveries and technology, to make fluency learning easier and more sustainable. As a result, you benefit by participating in one of the most advanced, results-based therapy programs available.
World-Class Clinical
Quality
HCRI’s treatment is comprehensive, systematic, and quality-controlled. We test every detail of the therapy process, and have systems to ensure treatment reliability. This includes having HCRI clinicians participate in 500 extra hours of customized training. These stringent standards ensure you achieve the best possible therapy outcomes.
Proven
Fluency Results
HCRI stuttering therapy has enhanced the lives of thousands of people who stutter. Research shows 93% of clients acquire fluent speech in 12 days and 70-75% retain fluency for the long term. You can expect similar results if you give 100% to the therapy process.
Comprehensive
Post-Therapy Support
Our extensive post-therapy tools and support are unmatched. Examples include our computer-based FluencyNet system, monthly video tips, HCRI reunions, fluency practice groups, and a free iPhone app that serves as a clinician in your pocket. Of course, we are always available by phone, email and Skype to offer assistance. At HCRI, we are your partner in fluency for life.
Tremendous
Therapy Value
Stuttering has enormous personal cost in the form of lost opportunities at work, school and socially. Therapy also comes at a price − but therapies are not created equally. The hourly cost of HCRI’s therapy program, which totals 100 hours over 12-days, is less than half the national average. Plus, HCRI provides a high probability of a positive, lasting outcome. All things considered, HCRI represents one of the best therapy values available.
"I'm a computer programmer. The people at HCRI have done a terrific job of making computers work effectively to improve the quality of therapy. Their work with electronics in therapy is outstanding."
