Hi Pam I am not an SLP or a professor- but I have practiced VS myself and taught it to other PWS in our self help groups. (In our Indian context, it is quite okay in a self help framework). My experience has been good with VS: it helps thru desensitization; it promotes inner Acceptance; it gives the PWS a chance to practice block corrections. Finally it helps, by letting people play with their stammering and study it. Doing it first time can be frightening for young people. Only thing- some people do it for a few days and then slide back into old avoidance patterns... sachin
