NEW TIME: Sunday, June 1, 2025 | 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM EST | Zoom
About This Event
As parents, all of us want the best for our kids. Seeing your child struggle to communicate is hard.
Your preschooler hesitates before saying their name
Your grade-schooler quietly holds back in class, even when they have something to say
Your teen pulls back from friends, avoiding calls and conversations
You ask yourself: What can I do?
Sadly, too many parents like you get the same old advice. While it may be well-intended, it's often frustrating. People tell parents:
"They'll grow out of it."
"Just tell them to slow down."
"You need to calm down."
"It's just a phase—don't draw attention to it."
Meanwhile, you're left wondering:
Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? Could I be making it worse?
A lot of people try and fail with traditional speech therapy. Too often, the focus is superficial, with heavy stress on mechanical skills to train surface behaviors. At best, this ignores the social-emotional experience of the child. At worst, it actually does harm - planting shame, fear and guilt in the child. Parents are confronted with complex challenges without guidance to make a difference.
There is a better way.
Join Uri Schneider, MA CCC-SLP, and our expert panel of special guests for an eye-opening discussion that transforms how you support your child's communication journey. Whether your child is just beginning to show signs of stuttering or has been struggling for years, you'll discover practical strategies that go beyond traditional approaches to nurture both speech fluency AND the confident communicator within.
More than textbook theories and single-stories, this proven approach applies tools developed through decades of specialized work with children, teens and adults of all ages. We'll present a range of age-appropriate tools for you to help your child talk more and fear less.
We believe your child deserves more than just "wait and see." When parents understand what's going on and how they can help - it can be the difference between years of breakdowns versus life-changing breakthroughs.

Meet The Experts
Uri Schneider, MA CCC-SLP is a leading professional in the field with 20+ years specializing in stuttering. He leads the private practice of experts at Schneider Speech and he hosts the podcast community at TranscendingX. Uri has guided hundreds of families beyond standard approaches to achieve remarkable results for children of all ages.
“In the end, our job as parents isn’t to remove the obstacles—it’s to help them believe they can overcome them.”
SPECIAL GUEST: Brian Feury is a successful entrepreneur and business leader serving as President of Feury Image Group and COO of Extech Building Materials - companies employing over 300 people and serving Fortune 500 clients. Diagnosed with dyslexia in high school when support was scarce, Brian didn't finish college but refused to let this define him. After gaining experience in the family business, he founded Feury Marketing in 1995, determined to prove dyslexia wouldn't limit his future. Over time, Brian discovered that dyslexia was actually a gift that taught him to think differently and build teams that complemented his strengths. His leadership approach—focused on empathy, humility, and creating environments where people feel valued -helped his company thrive with virtually no employee turnover for over a decade.
As a parent of a son who stutters, Brian's experience with dyslexia has given him unique insight into communication challenges. He understands the delicate balance of when to support and when to step back, allowing his son to develop his own voice and confidence. Brian believes the most important thing parents can do is "to love and support without enabling" and to help children believe they can overcome obstacles, not remove them. For Brian, success often means "putting your head down and pushing forward, even if it's only an inch at a time," a philosophy that has served him both in business and parenthood.
