Stuttering can run in families. It could be a genetic predisposition, or it could be a behavioral cause, like with modeling. It depends on the type of stuttering.

I know the devise you are talking about. It is a digital devise that creates a delay between what a stutter says, and what they hear themselves say. It tricks the brain, so that the stutter becomes more aware of their stuttering. It works well for some types of dysfluency.
