Peter and Robert, thanks for this excellent review and critique. I detest clinical programs that focus on one aspect of speech physiology as a means of controlling stuttering. I have seen too many children and adults who have been taught to "take in sufficient air" or to "speak on exhalation" that result in abnormal breathing that makes the problem worse. The same goes for programs that emphasize voice onset procedures exclusively. Your review sets the record straight on costal breathing. Job well done!
