I have often thought that some stuttering is caused by "abnormal" breathing. I am an undergraduate student currently in my clinical experience and am working with a fluency client. I notice often that this clients breathing is off which in turn sometimes causes this person to block, have to repeat, or start or end vocalizations with inadequate breath support. My question is, why has costal breathing not been researched more if it seems to work for some people? I understand that some of it is contradictory, but why would it not be revised?
