Treating Stuttering in Young Children: Predicting Treatment Time in the Lidcombe Program.

Jones, Mark; Onslow, Mark; Harrison, Elisabeth; Packman, Ann

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v43 n6 p1440-50 Dec 2000

A study investigated whether age, gender, period from onset to treatment, and stuttering severity related to the required treatment time of 250 preschoolers who completed the Lidcombe Program. Data indicate that, for a short period after stuttering onset, a short delay in treatment did not appear to increase treatment time. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
