Below is a before/after video of some people who completed the programme:
Modifying Phonation Intervals 2 (MPI-2) is an exciting new therapy programme for stuttering with proven results. It is the result of many years of research by Dr Roger Ingham (University of California, Santa Barbara).
The MPI programme has been shown to significantly reduce stuttering to very low levels. A Phase II clinical trial shows that most participants who undergo this intensive fluency shaping programme achieve very low levels of stuttering and are able to maintain this long-term (73% of participants, as reported in Ingham et al., 2015). It is designed for adults and older adolescents with developmental stuttering.
There are no easy answers for stuttering and this programme requires intensive work over many months. If you are motivated to change your speech and willing to put in the work, MPI-2 can show remarkable results. One of the excellent things about this is approach is that you will have the app on your own iOS/Android device and can practice whenever you want to and for as long as you wish.

How it works
You will work closely with a speech and language therapist and analyse your speech using an innovative app (iOS and Android) that gives immediate, accurate feedback about your vocal fold movements. Studies show that reducing the number of short phonation intervals, i.e. where the vocal folds switch on and off very rapidly, in speech can significantly reduce stuttering.
With the MPI-2 app you will learn to use your vocal folds in a slightly different way, resulting in very low rates of stuttering. The programme guides you as you learn to use this new skill in increasingly demanding speaking situations. You can find more information about MPI-2, including research and videos of people who have undergone the programme at www.mpi2.com.

Phases of the MPI-2 Programme
The MPI-2 programme is made up of several phases. These are:
Establishment Phase – You work intensively with a therapist (in person or remotely via Skype) daily for 2-4 weeks. A throat-microphone and the MPI-2 iOS/Android app are used to detect vocal fold movement and give immediate biofeedback about how the vocal folds are moving. You use the biofeedback from the app and the therapist's guidance to achieve a 50% reduction in short phonation intervals. Practice continues until you and the therapist agree that the speech is fluent and natural-sounding. You learn to use maintain this in progressively more challenging situations (e.g. starting with reading, progressing to monologues/conversations and ending with telephone conversations). Once this is achieved, you move on to the Transfer phase.
Transfer Phase – It is now time to use the fluent and natural-sounding speech in your life outside of the clinic. You will work with a therapist to identify and practice for important speaking situations (e.g. making a presentation, talking on the phone to customers). The MPI-2 app allows recordings of these situations to be made and shared with the therapist. Once speech is fluent and natural-sounding in your day-to-day life, you will enter the Maintenance Phase.
Maintenance Phase - You continue to practice using the MPI-2 app, although less intensively. The therapist is in regular contact to ensure that speech gains made in the programme are sustained over time.
