What feedback have you received from the clinician conducting the Lidcombe program? In my recent limited experience conducting Lidcombe therapy I have found that as the child's speech improves, parents often reduce the frequency with which they provide positive feedback. On some occasions the parents have focused more on corrections and did not provide enough positive feedback. I don't think it's unusual for a child to plateau but I also think you need to make sure you are doing the same things you did to help your child get from the high frequency of stuttering to where he is today.
