I'm looking for a speech therapist for my 8 yr old son who is stuttering badly.

I got some names and I would appreciate if anyone with good or bad experience to please share your thoughts that could help me find the right therapist for my son. (Bare in mind I'm looking for someone that went to them for a stuttering problem in particular)

The names are:
Yakov Levy
Shloimy Holtzberg
Arun Muller
tzvi Ziegler

Thanks in advance! Colors

Randy Dorfman is the #1 speech therapist in Monsey when it comes to stuttering.

Randi Dorfman is my aunt, and I can vouch for her! And I'm not just saying that as her niece, I've had countless people tell me that she's helped them tremendously. Stuttering is her specialty.

I am related to Randi as well. Raise your hand if you are also related Smile

But I like to keep my sn private.

I do know she is well-regarded as an expert in stuttering. If you are comfortable using a woman therapist, I would totally use her. I think your son is young enough that it is not an issue.

Hi son Uri Schneider also specializes in Stuttering. He lives in Israel and does a lot via Skype and also comes in to the US often.

Op here, thanks so much for all ur advice and support.
I know about randy dorfman, I'm a big fan of hers and I would love my son to go to her, but unfortunately in this case I'm dealing with my ex husband Confused that is obviously not very excited about paying so he came up with an excuse that he knows "4" ppl that went to her and they got worse Rolling Eyes (wonder why he picked the number four, lol)
Anyways, it's starting to get a rant sorry... You get the picture, so I'm trying to work with him as much as possible but on the flip side still trying to protect my son and make sure he gets the care he deserves.

Hey, its OP here with another update.

I found out that the names mentioned in my original post are not even specializing in stuttering, however I got these 2 unfamiliar names: Meilech Carp and Rueven Porges. If you know 'anything' about them please let me know, I desperately need your help!!

Thanks Hug
