Peter, this was very interesting for me to read. As a student in a CDIS major, I was always taught that pausing can be a form of a secondary stuttering behavior. We are taught to avoid adding secondary behaviors because it is a type of avoidance. I believe that your form of therapy can add diversity to the clients. There are many PWS who go through therapy trying to avoid pausing situations, but with your strategy it could help increase their fluency. You mentioned in a previous post that you "advertise". In your personal experience, have you ever seen a negative attitude after you "advertised" to someone that you were a PWS? Thank you!
