Hi, these are great questions. As far as other techniques, I've mainly tried work centered around what I described here. I imagine that other work around rhythm and better coordinating the brain could also be helpful; maybe using movement or instrument playing. I'd have to do more research though to see if this has been done and how effective it is. Oh, and some folks with stuttering or other stigmatized disabilities tell me that they've really been helped by the work we've done around self-expression and processing. Things like song-writing, lyric analysis, etc.
