Edit
I have taught with SD since 2004. Voice therapy did not help me much, either. The botox injections are the best alternative. It takes time to get the dosage and location right, and then sometimes you can get a less than perfect result. I use a redcat wireless system, which is used throughout the school anyway. I explain everything to my students at the beginning of the year as a natural part of getting to know each other's unique qualities. Our class motto is: Never Give Up! I use myself as a model for my students to never give up. My class is the best behaved class among 6 second grade homerooms. I never need to raise my voice. I have had bad days, and I have considered quitting, but then I get a good result from an injection and forget all about it. I hope it all works out for you to stay.
