A practice that works with Children, Teens and Adults
Director, Lori Melnitsky, MA CCC-SLP, knew she wanted to work with children, teens and adults because she herself overcame a severe stuttering disorder. She is one of only a handful of therapists who specializes in stuttering and prompt therapy.
- “I hired Lori in September 2010 to be my speech pathologist because I stutter and stammer. Throughout the 9-10 months that I worked with her, she was absolutely amazing. She’s given me the confidence, speech tools, and strength to be who I am today. I can speak in front of crowds, and classes with no problems at all. Lori is a great speech pathologist and a great friend”.
