Hi Parwant I think so. In the same way vocal function exercises such as trilling and or straw phonation (Titze) seem to provide some benefits to some clients, according to a colleague that uses these exercises. I have not used them up to now, but will try and observe the results. It is important to understand, though, that these exercises alone are not enough to increase fluency. When we are able to look at vocal tract's atypical movements of each client, it is clear that each one of them presents different patterns. So, each one needs different exercises too. As always, working with PWS is a very challenging matter, right? Thanks so much for your question.
