Welcome to Ezy-Speech

A Comprehensive Stuttering / Stammering Therapy Program

Ezy-Speech is a comprehensive, in-home stuttering treatment program offering easy speech therapy and cognitive training for adolescents and adults. It is the brainchild of recovering stutterers and specialist clinicians.

Stuttering can be compared to an iceberg, what you see is not all that is there. The tip of the iceberg is only a small part of the whole. There is so much more going on underneath that you don't see. In this sense, stuttering / stammering is similar to an iceberg. The physical signs of a stutter are only the external symptoms of interference within. Speech therapy and programs designed to help stuttering need to deal with so much more than just the dysfluency. Chipping away at the tip of the iceberg without venturing beneath does not address the real fluency disorder that lies much deeper within the individual. Stuttering affects the person as a whole. The communication and behavioural disorders that go hand in hand with the actual dysfluency need to also be acknowledged and treated.

Many people who undertake stuttering treatment show significant improvement during therapy, but afterwards often relapse into old stammering habits following a period of fluency. Stuttering programs that only address the physical aspects of the stutter without dealing with the very significant cognitive conditions are really only chipping away at the tip of that iceberg.

In regard to effective stuttering treatment, personal aspects such as negative self-concept, anxiety, avoidance and other developed traits need to be dealt with by any speech therapy program. Because stuttering cannot be cured, only managed, any treatment needs to include cognitive training as well as solid ongoing support of the fluency technique. This support should be easily accessed and provided as a service for life.

Our Stuttering / Stammering Program

Ezy-Speech, developed from the experiences of two recovering stutterers and specialist clinicians, has followed all these criteria to create a unique internet package and an innovative treatment for stuttering, that offers lifelong support.

The Ezy-Speech Technique

The Ezy-Speech technique has been developed over the last 10 years and is based on the foundations of Prolonged Speech. This system was originally developed by Professor Gavin Andrews, Dr Roger Ingham, Dr Ashley Craig and their research teams. Ezy-Speech enhances the Prolonged Speech method through a holistic and more natural approach, using breathing technique and dealing with the psychological issues associated with stuttering.

"Ezy-Speech is an easy-to-use, inexpensive program that means everyone can access the very latest, highly effective clinical system to achieve fluent speech." - Dr Lisa Hudson
