The first thing that jumps to mind is to model the speech pattern you want him to use. That is, when you’re talking to new listeners, you do it first, using exaggerated EOs. That sometimes motivates clients to try the new techniques. To get him back on track, you can join the conversation using your EOs. If this (or something else) works, let me know, as transfer is the most difficult part of stuttering treatment. Clinicians and clients alike are continually frustrated by how easily skills can be mastered in the therapy room and how quickly they can fall apart everywhere else.
