Jen, thanks for writing. You ask, “How would you suggest this monitoring take place so the pausing tool can be used in the right manner?” I suggest talking to clients very openly about stuttering and speech tools and observing closely. You can also ask clients to keep a journal or respond in writing to “homework” in which they discuss each day’s use of pausing. And of course, using some basic counseling skills is a good idea. Let me recommend the David Luterman counseling video from the Stuttering Foundation – I found it to be very helpful and insightful.
