I am pleased you found this article helpful. I have not used a reward program for self monitoring stuttering with preschool age children. The objective of the Lidcombe Program is increasing fluency and spontaneous self monitoring or self correction of stutters is not one of the objectives with this age group. I might use a reward program for a preschool age child that reinforces fluency, perhaps as a motivator toward the end of treatment, but never for monitoring stuttering. In the case of the older child, this boy was very good at self monitoring and self correcting and I used the reward system to reinforce what he was already doing in order to encourage him.
