i know a few people that took the course and speak positively about it. i took a different fluency shaping course, and came out of it with tools for my speech but mixed feelings about "chasing after fluency", if you will. i don't know, if you don't have a lot of money, it's a difficult decision -- there definitely isn't a "quick fix" if that is what you are looking for. do you have health insurance? there is a chance that you could find a speech therapist in-network that would be covered through your insurance.
