What evidence is there of the fluency enhancing the effects of DAF and FAF?
Ten years of scientific research conducted at Dalhousie University and East Carolina University have shown that the use of DAF and FAF can significantly enhance fluency levels in a variety of situations including reading, monologue, using the telephone and speaking in front of an audience. This research has been published in top scientific journals. (Please refer to the Links/References section of the website.) 1.6 But I heard DAF should only be used to slow down the rate of speech in a similar manner to what is taught in traditional therapies.. Not true. The use of DAF with people who stutter has been around for 50 years; but in the early days, long delays of 200 ms and higher induced slower speaking rates which were thought to be responsible for the higher fluency levels attained. Since then it has been found that DAF enhances fluency at much smaller delays (50 100 ms), and even at delays as minimal as 25 ms, without a decrease in speech rate. Furthermore, DAF has shown to enhance fl
