Stuttering revisited

[JAG10]

Do you all find yourself not sure of anything anymore???

 

We talk about the differences between infectious-based OCD and "true" OCD; infectious-based tics and "true" tics....and then some ponder if there is any difference at all...

 

Anyway, interesting find...I'm an SLP and work with kids K-12. I have a very bright, ADHD 10th grader who has stuttered severely since I have known him in 4th grade. In the past few years, he's expressed interest in DAF (delayed auditory feedback) but it is a very expensive device ($5K)

 

Well, IPhone 4 has a DAF app that can be used with a blue-tooth or mic-headset, so I was able to put this together on my phone for under $30...much smaller investment. It brought tears to my eyes to hear him speak...not perfectly, but soooo much more fluently!!! I started wondering if DAF would work on those who have an infectious-based stuttering tic? Might be worth a try for anyone challenged significantly by stuttering.
