Electronic
Devices Used In Conjunction
With Stuttering Treatment
We have provided this list of electronic aids that may help some people manage their stuttering. Electronic aids and other devices have been around for many years in stuttering therapy. Some people who stutter have found them to be helpful, at least in limited situations, such as using the telephone or giving a speech. Others who have hoped for a ''magic cure" have been disappointed. For an in-depth packet of information, mailed free of charge, click here.
