Testimonials

We continued once a week for several months, then began once a month, and are now, about 20 months after starting, essentially stutter-free. While this is a bit of a disappointment to Katy as she enjoyed her time with Darrell so much, I am obviously thrilled! Now months after our last meeting, she continues to use strategies she learned with Darrell when she comes across a word that is difficult— I find this incredible.

I believe that Darrell Dodge is the most compassionate, qualified, and dedicated person that I could have found to help Katy. I would recommend him to anyone I know without hesitation.

"I really like Mr. Dodge.
He plays lots of games. And he listens to kids"

- Gabriel, Age 4

"We chose Mr. Darrell Dodge because his philosophy mirrored our own: treatment needs to deal with speech fluency as well as the emotional self.  Here was someone who could reach our son on a level that we could not. For a year they worked together and we now have a happy, confident, young man ready to enter college."
- Gloria P.

Mr. Dodge's kind and patient manner coupled with his vast knowledge of speech therapy has acted as a catalyst in assisting our child to improve his speech abilities. He has been instrumental in helping our son speak fluently.

"The Child and Adolescent Stuttering Treatment and Activity Resource Guide is a gold mine of therapy techniques and activities in which to teach them. The authors' clinical experiences shine through in their clear explanations of why, when, and how to employ a multitude of tools to increase fluency and make stuttering easier and more like normal speech."
Barry Guitar, Ph.D., University of Vermont
