Sept 16, 2021

accessAtlanta is your weekly podcast about things to do in and around Atlanta and beyond. This week, we’ll talk about the American Institute for Stuttering’s holistic approach to therapy.

Carl Herder is the Atlanta director of the American Institute for Stuttering. The institute’s approach to speech therapy is more holistic as opposed to just teaching techniques and they offer help to anyone who needs it. Joseph Ferguson spoke with Herder recently about the history of the institute and about what they’re doing in the community and he’ll bring us that conversation. Find it at ajc.com/podcasts and at the Apple Podcast store.
