Lidcombe Program

The Lidcombe Program is a therapy for young children who stutter. It involves a parent or caregiver providing simple, positive feedback when the child speaks fluently, encouraging more smooth speech. The program combines structured practice sessions with ongoing everyday conversations, gradually reducing support as the child improves. The goal is to build the child's confidence and speech fluency through consistent, supportive reinforcement, making the process natural and manageable within daily life.
