What Students Have To Say

Not just theory. Usable treatment Information.

Dolores DiStasio Laskin, SLP

I have taken several courses from Lori. Unlike many other courses her courses provide not only theory but usable treatment information that can be immediately implemented with clients. Her personal experiences make me think about each and everything I do for my clients and families. I am always excited for her next offering.

I feel like I can support children who stutter. Must watch.

Linda L, Spec Ed Administrator

I honestly learned very little about stuttering in school. After watching this course I feel like I can support children who stutter and their families. It’s a must watch.

Having a teacher who is an SLP who stutters was an added bonus.

MIchelle Yackow, SLP

I highly recommend the school aged stuttering bootcamp. As a SLP working in public schools I found this information so useful. Having a teacher who is an SLP who stutters and stuttering specialist was an added bonus. So glad I took this course.

Meet Your Instructor

Lori Melnitsky, M.A., CCC-SLP

I’ve been a licensed speech-language pathologist for over 20 years, and I’ve dedicated my career to helping people who stutter—because I’ve lived that journey myself.

I stuttered severely until the age of 30. I couldn’t say my name out loud or raise my hand in class. I was even told by other SLPs that I’d never make it in this profession, but I didn’t let that stop me. I became an SLP, opened my private practice—All Island Speech and Stuttering Therapy—and made it my mission to help others find their voice.

Over the years, I’ve treated hundreds of children and adults who stutter. I’ve created resources like the Stuttering Boot Camp for school-aged students and launched the Stuttering DeMystified podcast and Facebook group to share knowledge and support.

I’ve had the honor of teaching graduate classes on stuttering as an adjunct professor, presenting at conferences, and even consulting on the PBS children’s show Arthur for the episode “Maria Speaks.” I’ve published work in the Journal of Fluency Disorders and have been featured by Verizon and Newsday as an expert on stuttering.

My goal is simple: to give you the tools, strategies, and confidence you need to support young children who stutter—so you can walk into every session knowing exactly what to do.
