Answers About The Lidcombe Program
The Lidcombe program is a stuttering treatment program developed by the Australian Stuttering Research Centre. It is an early intervention behaviour based program designed for children who have developed stutter speech in the age group from 2 - 6 years old. The program involves the parents being taught to monitor the child's speech on a daily basis looking for incidences of stuttered speech and offering supportive and encourage corrections to these dysfluent moments with more fluent speech. The program is conducted in tow phases. Typically the first phase lasts about 3 - 6 months and involved the parent and child returning to the clinic on a weekly basis. The second phase is the maintenance or stabilization stage where the child's speech is monitored for any further stuttering over a 12 months period. Studies on the Lidcombe program has been found to be very positive in correcting the speech of pre-school children and is most effective in children up to the age of 6 years old. Beyond that age the results are not as effective.
