Hollins Communications Research Institute

"Like others here have said, its a very difficult program. While I was down there it worked beautifully, my friends and family talking to me on the phone were very impressed. Unfortunately it didn't stick because I had way too many problems that take my focus away from it, ADD, Anxiety, Depression. So if you have difficulty focusing, I would definitely say to try to get those things as much in order as you can before you go to HCRI. The reason I'm giving it such a high rating even though it didn't work for me is I've seen it help people even after they left so it works, but its certainly not for everybody. In addition the staff there are amazing some of the kindest staff ever. Especially the office manager Linda (its been awhile so she could be retired by now) who helps you sign up and you see daily. Maybe someday after I get my life together, I will be back, till then keep on helping people HCRI."

"Our son just completed the 12 day clinic in April, 2023. He began stuttering at age 7. He called us the first night of the program and said for the first time in 30 years his chest did not feel tight. This program had him for 8 hours a day relearning breathing, tone and articulation. He left on the 12th day fluent and we are praising God for this transformation! This program works and we are so thankful for the Speech Pathologists and the science behind their methods."

"I should mention that my involvement with HCRI was as a graduate student with Dr. Webster, then a two year fellowship helping to develop the initial version of the current the Hollins Fluency System. During that time I became very familiar with the system, seeing people immensely benefit from the therapy."

"Exceptional. Clinical staff was extremely knowledgeable, and could adapt teaching style very well to the individual to give them the best learning experience. Skills taught here WILL produce fluent speech if they are implemented. Highly enjoyed my time here, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone wishing to improve their fluency."

"Great Experience. Better than any therapy for stuttering I have received. I definitely recommend it for anyone who struggles with any form of stuttering, whether it’s mild or severe. You will feel substantially more comfortable and confident talking, but only as long as you commit and maintain what they teach you. Not only will you become fluent in speech, you’ll also meet a lot of really good people."
