The CSTP is our evidence-based intensive clinical program for adolescents & adults who stutter (14 years and older). It's offered by the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic every July.
Therapy based on CSTP principles is offered year-round in semi-intensive or weekly formats for anyone unable to commit to a week-long intensive format.
Registration for summer 2026 is now closed. Due to low enrollment before the April 10 preferred deadline, the scheduled intensive program is canceled.
Summer stuttering therapy will be offered with flexible scheduling (afternoon sessions) between July 13 and 26, 2026. The programming is open to teens and adults 14 years and older. Please contact Dr. Irani (firani@txstate.edu) with questions about the program, stuttering, and stuttering therapy.
Schedule: The 2026 CSTP sessions were scheduled to meet daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with group therapy sessions in the morning and individual therapy sessions in the afternoon. The flexible programming will not include group sessions, only afternoon sessions that can be spread out over two weeks (July 13-24)

We believe that stuttering is a complex multidimensional disorder best treated by a multifaceted approach. Due to the nature of stuttering, it is important for therapy to consider individual needs. The CSTP is designed to provide therapy in a semi-structured format that addresses various aspects of stuttering while paying attention to individual needs. The program addresses various unhelpful reactions to stuttering on an individual level to help promote healthy acceptance of stuttering and develop the skills necessary to deal with various real-life situations. Over the course of the program, individual needs will be identified and prioritized. Success looks different for each person, so the ultimate goal of the CSTP is to help each person become comfortable with their stuttering and develop a repertoire of effective communication skills that serve their needs.
The program is coordinated by Dr. Farzan Irani. His research focuses on treatment outcomes for people who stutter. To learn more about Dr. Irani and his research interests please click here.
