Hello Wazhma, At this moment the VSSC is free and open for all stutterers to join and interact with. At this stage it is designed as a social hub and also houses a series of basic interactive simulations to practise speaking with, face feared situations and to help desensitise the user to a situation. Through these simulations you can really overkill the scenario and words/phrases. The socialness enables you to communicate and interact with stutterers from all over the world. It is a win-win situation. With further development it will become stronger. The VSSC gives people different options which could easily complement clinician therapy or other programs. It is not designed to take over. It is a great safe environment for stutterers who choose not to go down the therapy route also. Further development and initial research will be starting very soon. The VSSC is just at the seed stage at the moment. The first if its kind in this ever expanding virtual space :)
