The
Lidcombe Program
How
long does it take?
Children
differ in the time they take to complete the Lidcombe Program. However,
research has shown that the average number of weekly clinic visits
needed for preschool children to reach Stage 2 of the program is
around 11. Children whose stuttering is more severe tend to take
more than 11 visits, while children whose stuttering is less severe
tend to take fewer than 11 visits. It also seems that—for
preschool children only—delaying treatment with the Lidcombe
Program for a year or so after onset does not make the child's stuttering
less responsive to the treatment.
