1. Went for years as a teen. No effect. Went back as an adult (mid 20s.) Went from severe stutterer to fluent. 2. Twice a week during ramp up. Transitioned to once a week fairly early on. The system was a series of steps. Progression was continuous throughout therapy. But it wasn't a progression from disfluency to fluency. It was progression through learning to speak fluently. Think of it like learning a second language. I wasn't fixing my disfluent speech. I was learning fluent speech. 3. Don't recall. 25 years ago. Insurance was covering a good portion of it. Never accept 'no' as the answer from insurance. Their first answer is always no. Gotta push the insurance companies. 4. See above. 5. Yes.
