The effectiveness of a treatment is measured by the following key factors:
• The retention level of the stuttering and speech fluency “Correct & Control” ability.
• The length of time that level of retention is maintained.
• The effectiveness of the post-treatment Maintenance & Support program
...that enables the preservation of that retention level.
The
Apex™Speech Care System is a groundbreaking computerized treatment method for Stuttering, Speech & Language disorders (patented). This non-invasive multi-disciplinary protocol is supported by the most recent technologies, and applied in a streamlined Concentrated form. It replaces lengthy outdated therapies that resulted in diluted low retention levels as confirmed by various clinical studies.
