Om denne podcast
Yes, I stutter. I have been a licensed speech pathologist for 30 years. My career started out as an unhappy accountant. Being told I would never be able to communicate due to stuttering, I proved them all wrong.
My goal is to increase stuttering education and help all who stutter as well as learning about ADHD.
I am a life and ADHD coach for ambitious women/college students.
I own All Island Speech and Stuttering Therapy and online via tele health. I am licensed in NY, NJ, CT, PA, CA, MA
