I don't know if I agree with everything written here about the Founder of AIS but I did have one experience with Total Immersion Fluency Training (TIFT). I had expected to get the same PFSP program that I took with her and when I went to TIFT I got a very modified version of PFSP that gave me less fluency than I had with PFSP and left very disheartened and cheated. She also had an associate who had no speech therapy training but was supposed to be a "body man" as she described him who knew all about the body and and had cured himself of cancer in every part of his body. I thought at the time this person to be lying and could not understand why the AIS founder would even have a person like this at her therapy clinic. My opinion of the Founder was that she was a very childish person who was easily influenced by people and their claims and was very unprofessional and did not appreciate the fact that she should not take advantage of her license as a speech therapist and experiment with customers but provide a product that worked She believed in past lives at the time and told me that her associate was her brother in a past life!!

Do not go here. Founder of AIS...

Do not go here. Founder of AIS was fired by Ronald Webster of Hollins Communications who came up with a valid stuttering program that she did not and would not deliver correctly. Founder of AIS always wanted to start an Institute of her own and did everything to accomplish this not to really help stutterers but for her own glorification and the glorification of the Option Institute that she almost lived at, a nice cult in Mass. Flounder of AIS liked to experiment with stutterers in the same way that Ronald Webster did except people volunteered for Webster while people who went to Ms. Otto/ Montgomery's programs had no idea that they were part of an experiment and they paid her thousands of dollars for the many variations of her programs that is now called AIS and they all never worked. Flounder of AIS not only believed in the teachings of the cults, she believed in part lives and was guided by these principles and a whole bunch of New Age concepts. Founder was very personable and got famous people who stutter to be on her "Board" who have no idea what her program is about or the Founders professional history of failure and unscientific research and behavior. Main technique taught at AIS is random fluency management.
