NEW The NCS Treatment Program - In self-administered format

After undergoing a rigorous testing program for the past four years, a unique NCS treatment will soon be made available to the general public. Comprising two DVDs, a CD, a manual, a workbook, and a Motiv-Aider, this self-administered program has been tested on several hundred clients. Long-term success rates are in excess of 93%. Join the more than 14,000 individuals who have learned the original airflow technique during the past 40 years, but do so at a fraction of the cost. The program will be available to the public in late Spring of 2008. Those wishing complete details should email: executivedirector@stuttering.com and, in the subject line, write: NEW PROGRAM.
