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.”

Common speaking experiences, not participant testimonials.

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.

02 Attentive to the individual

Guidance shaped around your needs, communication goals and learning experience.

03 Connected beyond the programme

Continued follow-up helps you work on applying learned strategies in daily life.

The intensive programme

Six days of focus.
A step towards

NABS + ISRF · SUPPORTING PEOPLE SINCE 1995

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.

Follow-up appointments and responses depend on team availability and service procedures. Seven-day availability does not mean 24-hour access. Ask about session modes and booking arrangements.

OUR NONPROFIT COMMITMENT

Support should begin with an open door.

Alongside the intensive programme, we provide consultation, support for children and parents, and stuttering awareness without fees for these services.

NO CONSULTATION FEE

A first conversation

Talk with our team about your needs, the programme and possible next steps. There is no obligation to enrol.

FREE FAMILY SUPPORT

For children & parents

Ask questions, understand stuttering and explore ways to support a child. The team can discuss appropriate assessment and next steps.

FREE AWARENESS SUPPORT

More understanding

Stuttering awareness and guidance for families, educators and others who want to build more understanding and support.

These free services are separate from the six-day intensive programme. Ask our team for current programme fees, assessment arrangements and what is included before enrolling.

 

FROM KOCHI, WELCOMING THE WORLD

Your language. Your background. You are welcome.

NABS welcomes people who stutter from India and around the world, with no language restriction on enquiries or participation.

Tell us your preferred language and where you live. We’ll discuss communication arrangements, programme suitability, dates and fees before you plan a visit to Kochi.

Our centre is in Kochi, Kerala, India. Confirm any remote consultation or therapy arrangements directly with our team.

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.

Send a WhatsApp message or call us. Our team will discuss your enquiry and arrange the next step. An enquiry does not automatically reserve a programme place or confirm an appointment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best decisions I made! I attended the 6-day stammering therapy programme, and it was a really good experience. I learned a lot about how to handle stammering and speak with more confidence. Aasha Madam, and Basil pama sessions were amazing—very practical, interesting, and easy to connect with. he whole experience was worth it. Definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with stammering.❤️

I attended the 6-day behaviour therapy programme for stammering, and it was one of the best experiences I have had. sessions were helpful, and I learned a lot about managing stammering and improving my speech confidence. the guidance and support were excellent. I am really happy that I attended this programme and would recommend it to anyone looking for stammering treatment through behaviour therapy.
