Janus Development Group, makers of the SpeechEasy anti-stuttering device, has designated 26 of its 146 providers nationwide to be Premier Providers. These Premier Providers will participate in a network of professionals sharing their expertise and experience in the treatment of stuttering. They will also be instrumental in the recommendation of improvements to the services offered to clients and other providers by Janus Development Group.
Premier Providers are selected based on merit and client satisfaction. They have demonstrated a willingness to educate people who stutter and their families and work with others to
promote community awareness of fluency issues. As licensed and trained Speech-Language Pathologists, they are able to professionally evaluate people who stutter and dispense the
SpeechEasy when deemed appropriate.
SpeechEasy is a division of Janus Development Group that developed and markets a portable fluency-enhancing device that fits in or behind the ear and can help people who stutter to speak
more fluently. SpeechEasy is a synthesis of miniaturized hardware, cutting-edge digital technology and advanced algorithms that provide customized, fluency-enhancing DAF and FAF
recreating a natural phenomenon known as the choral-effect. The choral effect occurs when a person'ss stutter is dramatically reduced or even eliminated when they speak or sing in unison
with others. The choral effect has been well documented for decades, but has only recently been scientifically recreated in a small, wearable device that can be used every day.
Approximately 3 out of 4 people who stutter will benefit from a SpeechEasy fluency device. More information about SpeechEasy is available at www.speecheasy.com.
