I understand that when someone stutters there may be tension in the larynx and this causes the person to have a problem phonating. I am wondering if having the person mouth the word without phonation will help them relax enough to allow phonation? My reasoning behind this is that I wonder if mouthing the word silently will help the person take their mind off of the stutter/block and in turn, take the fear out of word that they are having trouble producing and allow them to relax the larynx to produce sound. Thanks for your help.
