I had different SLP's and they had their own ways of treating my stuttering. But the SLP's always told me in the beginning that it's never the focus for an slp to reach fluency. Regarding what I learned, other things than mentioned, I did affirmations, fluency shaping techniques, easy onset or relaxing the mouth. I didn't learn diaphragmatic breathing with the SLP but I did other breathing exercises or mental exercises (what you considered psychology). But mostly though, what we did was reading and spontaneous speaking. You are suggesting University programs for stuttering treatment. I participated in this program which was held in the hospital. This program was only focused on deliberately stuttering (inferior to OCD treatment or ERP if you know what that entails), it's basically based on the 1960's research while there are newer research studies like inhibitory learning model. Newer research state that habituation and desentitization are less effective than previously thought. It's far more effective to learn to build resilience against stutter trigger, disconfirm expectancy and detach importance from trigger, **do you have any experience with these three goals?**
