Stuttering Solutions™ and Fluency FlierAcademy™

Fluency Flier Academy™

WAW FavIcon.avif

Words Are Wings® Fluency Flier Academy™ (long-term, comprehensive approach) is for stutterers whose quality of life has become impacted and even unmanageable due to constant stuttering looking to relearn how to speak from the ground-up. There is an acknowledgment that past and present efforts to speak fluently have been, and are, unsuccessful and that a change is subsequently needed.  This realization and acknowledgment are important because without it a year of time devoted to learning how to control your stuttering and speak fluently will seem like decades…when in truth many years (and perhaps decades) have already been controlled by not just stuttering but also the fear of stuttering.


Words Are Wings® Fluency Flier Academy™ (long-term, comprehensive approach) is a commitment to relearning how to speak correctly by a total breaking down and relearning of the speech mechanism and mechanics.  Presently unsuccessful stuttering will be unlearned and replaced with functional baseline speech mechanics followed by learned, practiced, and honed fluency-shaping techniques that become the new way of speaking over time (approximately one year.)


The year-long Words Are Wings® Fluency Flier Academy™ is $5,000.  This includes weekly sessions (with several breaks during the year), enrollment into the academy, customized practice regimens and tools, communication with me throughout the program duration to ensure you’re practicing correctly, and troubleshooting whatever may be confusing or challenging.  Sustained practice compliance is paramount to increase success probability as relearning to speak fluently by controlling your stuttering takes time and dedication.


As the cost is significant the following perspective is recommended: you’re not only addressing your stuttering over the next year but your quality of life for the rest of your life by learning how to control you’re stuttering and subsequently speak fluently (think of all the experiences you’ve had over the years that have been influenced and/or impacted by stuttering; wouldn’t it be amazing to turn all of those experiences into memorable ones for all the right reasons, most notably, because you spoke fluently?)


Words Are Wings® Fluency Flier Academy™ targets all of the following core speech mechanic variables into every client’s year-long program:

 

  • Diaphragmatic breathing

  • Passive airflow

  • Speech initiation

  • Coordination of breathing and speech initiation

  • Connected speech

  • Light articulatory contact

  • Easy onsets

  • Sustained airflow during speech

  • Speaking volume

  • Speaking softness

  • Speaking velocity

  • Optimizing external device usage


These are the components of our speech mechanics as speakers, whether a stutterer or non-stutterer, that must work together in order to produce fluent, intelligible speech.  They address the mechanics of speech which are faulty and subsequently become interrupted in the voices of stutterers.  This is evidenced by the answer to the following question: is it that you, as a stutterer, don’t know what it is you want to say, or, do you know exactly what you want to say but physically/mechanically cannot say it at the precise moment in time that you want to?


Daily proactivity and practice compliance are paramount between sessions to increase success probability and sustain gains long-term.
