Elisa, I need to ask why you are asking this question. Are you a person who stutters who is looking for information on the various devices that are available commercially? If so, there is some information online at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/TherapyWWW/dafjanus.html where you can do some of your own research and decide if it is the right approach for you to explore. As it says in the explanation of The Prof Is In, "This is especially designed as a good opportunity for parents of children who stutter, and for children, teens, and for adults who stutter to ask questions of several highly qualified specialists in the area of stuttering. It is not for lengthy discussion/debate or for students assigned to "post something to the online conference." Your question is very broad and would require a lengthy answer for anyone wishing to support or refute the use of these devices. There is also a lot of debate about these devices at the moment. Until there has been more research into the long-term effectivenss (I know Larry Molt is currently doing a study), and trying to determine who it might work for and who it might not work for, I'm not sure anyone can answer your question.
