A LASTING COMMITMENT
Specialist care. A nonprofit purpose.
NABS provides Behaviour Therapy for Stuttering in association with the International Stuttering Research Foundation (ISRF). Since 1995, this work has brought together treatment, training, support and stuttering awareness.
*15,000+ programme completions since 1995, as reported by NABS. This is a completion figure, not a cure rate. Individual outcomes vary.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
There is more to speaking than the words.
Knowing what you want to say, yet holding back. Rehearsing an introduction. Avoiding a phone call. These experiences deserve understanding.
Stuttering does not define your intelligence,
your abilities, or your worth.
01 “I know what I want to say, but sometimes the words get stuck.”
02 “I change words or stay quiet to avoid a difficult moment.”
03 “I want to feel more comfortable in everyday conversations.”
THE NABS APPROACH
We start with the person. We work towards everyday life.
Our behavioural approach considers the wider experience of stuttering: speaking patterns, anticipation, avoidance, feelings and the situations that matter to you.
Understand your experience
Explore your communication needs and personal goals through individual evaluation.
Build through practice
Work on relevant behavioural strategies with structured practice and guidance.
Connect with everyday life
Apply what you learn to conversations, work, study and the moments that matter.
Research-based. Evidence-based. Individualised.
Our work brings behavioural science, individual assessment and practical training together. Your goals guide the learning; guided practice connects it with everyday communication. Ask our team about the methods, research and progress reviews used in your programme.
PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THE WORK
A dedicated team. Personal attention.
Our trained professionals work specifically in stuttering study, behavioural training and research. They help you understand the approach, practise relevant skills and plan continued learning.
01 Focused on stuttering
Specialised training and a professional focus on the experiences of people who stutter.

CONFIDENCE THROUGH CLARITY
Understand the approach. Make an informed choice.
Evidence-based care deserves a clear explanation. We welcome questions about how the programme is delivered, who guides you and how your progress is reviewed.
The methods
Ask which behavioural strategies are relevant to your needs and the research informing them.
The people
Ask about the training, qualifications and experience of the professionals delivering your programme.
Your progress
Discuss your goals, how progress is reviewed and what continued practice may involve.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Questions are a good place to start.
We’re happy to talk through your concerns before you make a decision.
The National Academy of Behavioural Science (NABS) is a nonprofit organisation providing Behaviour Therapy for Stuttering in association with the International Stuttering Research Foundation (ISRF). This work has supported people who stutter since 1995.
The intensive programme combines individual evaluation, behavioural strategies, structured practice and guidance for everyday communication. Needs and goals vary, so discuss the precise programme and your suitability with the team before enrolling.
The initial consultation, support for children and parents, and stuttering awareness support are free. Participants who complete the six-day programme receive lifetime free follow-up. Ask for the current intensive programme fees, any separate assessment charges and a clear explanation of what is included before deciding.
NABS provides research-based, evidence-based behavioural therapy through trained professionals focused on stuttering study, training and research. You can ask about the specific methods, relevant research, staff qualifications and how progress is evaluated. Individual outcomes vary.
No complete or permanent cure is guaranteed. The six-day duration describes the intensive training, not a deadline for a guaranteed result. The programme supports individual communication goals, with continued practice and follow-up where needed.
Free support is available for children and parents. Suitability for the intensive programme depends on age, developmental needs and individual assessment. Contact the team to discuss an appropriate next step for your child.
Participants who complete the six-day programme can receive follow-up therapy and support free for life. Support is available seven days a week, including Sundays and holidays, with appointments and responses subject to team availability. Confirm the session mode and booking arrangements with the team.
Yes. People from all nationalities and language backgrounds are welcome. Share your preferred language, country and time zone so the team can discuss communication arrangements, suitability, dates and fees before you make travel plans. Ask separately about remote services.
No. It is NABS’s reported number of people who completed training since 1995. Programme completion and individual treatment outcomes are different measures. The figure is not a cure or success-rate claim.
