Stuttering Demystified & Beyond

Episode 29: Why Lidcombe is the best for preschool and early school age stuttering (ages 3 to 7)


Listen Later


Are you a parent to a child who stutters? This episode is for you. Today I share one of the best programs for pre-schoolers who stutter. When choosing a program for your child, one of the things that I encourage people to consider is going to a therapist

who specializes in stuttering. Also, I always advise parents to do their homework on the programs. Some programs do more harm than good.

Today I want to share why Lidcombe is the best for preschool children. Parents interact with their children: One of the things I love seeing is parents interacting with their children during therapy. With the Lidcombe program, the interaction between the parent and child has to be there.

It is positive: Have you ever tried a program that leaves your child feeling worse than they are? Lidcombe can never be that program for you. It is filled with a lot of positivity.

It is flexible: With children, the flexibility of a program goes a long way in ensuring that they benefit from the program. The goal with Lidcombe is to eliminate stuttering.

Key Talking Points of the Episode:
