What People Say
"Since the age of 5, I've been going to speech therapists with no improvement. After 20+ years of not being able to utter a syllable without stuttering, Schneider Speech helped me. Now, I run my own medical practice and I owe everything to their help." – Dr. Aryeh Schulman
An opportunity arose for me to speak on stage in front of eight thousand people, opening for a former U.S. President. Without Uri's coaching, I doubt I would have felt confident enough to accept. However, in the midst of my coaching with Uri, I confidently agreed with just 12 hours' notice and delivered a 12-minute speech without a teleprompter or written speech—and without stuttering." – Billy McLaughlin, Director Digital Content at the White House
"Among the premier treatment options worldwide." – J. Scott Yaruss, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-F, F-ASHA (Michigan State University)
