Pamela, Greg just gave you a nice description of some options that could work for you.Yet, I am worried about a few aspects in your case. (1) The technology you are considering is not a cure, but may help you speak more fluently (but only if...) you have it turned on; if it works for you, you are pretty much dependent on using it permanently; (2) not all individuals who stutter respond the same way to DAF/FAF. If you pursue this as a "prosthesis" to help you through difficult moments, or as a way of life, it is probably better to find out how you respond to DAF/FAF, and thus if it is worth to pursue it in the first place. By downloading the trial of the (www.artefactSoft.com) DAF/FAF Assistant- software you could try it out on your own computer. Best solution would be to do this together with a speech language pathologist and determine how your needs can be best met. You don't hear yourself speak very well while listening to DAF/FAF. Hope this helps.
