I had therapy in elementary school, as well as high school, but I also had the luxury of being able to go and get therapy at the local university. This therapy was with people who were almost done w/ their training there, and sometimes with people who already had completed it, and just continued to do work there. When it comes to techniques, if someone is really focused on them, what worked the best for me was Easy Onsets, but also learning to change the cadence of how I speak (some people have called it Word-Blending, I've met others who call it other things.) Teaching myself to control my phrasing was key, and I do it all the time. It's really helped. However, something I learned from the therapy at the university was that I would never have even realized from my school therapist is that techniques are secondary, when dealing with stuttering. The best therapists you can have are the ones who, from an *early age*, can instill in you that it isn't shameful, and that you don't have to feel bad about it, and that others are wrong for trying to make you. There are a couple replies here that state that this was done in the opposite order for them. Please, when you have a patient, especially someone young, don't just lead off with techniques. When ya hammer them too hard, kids feel like there's something wrong, and that they need to be fixed.
