Darcey McCollum

Darcey McCollum, Richmond, B.C., Intensive Stuttering Treatment Program for Adults

I followed the steps in this program and, as a result, it improved my life greatly. It improved my social life, my work life, the relationship I have with my wife and I can't recommend this program enough.

 

Davin Carter

Davin Carter, Vancouver, B.C., Intensive Stuttering Treatment Program for Adults

The clinic has affected both my personal and professional life. I'm more comfortable and confident in myself. I can talk to people and be clear and successful in talking to them.

 

Andrew McDonald

Andrew McDonald, Vancouver, B.C., Intensive Stuttering Treatment Program for Youth

I took stuttering treatment when I was 12. I'm incredibly glad I took it because now, when I go into a conversation, I don't have to worry about what words to avoid or to avoid the conversation altogether.

 

Heather McDonald

Heather McDonald, Andrew's mom

We have a son who has been through this program and it has been a great success for him. As a teenager, he now has lots of self-esteem and isn't afraid to speak in public at all.
