Participants View’s “It is a wonderful thing being able to talk whenever I want to without being embarrassed about it.” – Brittany, age 10 “The program will not hand you fluency on a silver platter, but it will give you the opportunity to be in control.” – Rebecca G. Adriana is brilliant with children. And she's been a comfort and inspiration to us. – Kathleen, parent

Adriana DiGrande M.S. CCC-SLP, BRS-FD Founder of the New England Fluency Program Practiced since 1975 and exclusively in the area of fluency since 1982 Member of ASHA & Massachusetts Speech Language Hearing Association Founding member of Division of Fluency Disorders

Our Questions & Comments What is the program’s definition of Normal fluency? What are the long-term results following completion of the program? What conclusive data is available to support results? An interesting treatment program, however seems very vague with limited data evidence.
