Lidcombe Program Workshops
The Lidcombe Program is a direct intervention developed by Mark Onslow and his colleagues at the Australian Stuttering Research Centre, to treat stuttering in preschool aged children.
After training, speech-language pathologists will be prepared to teach parents to administer appropriate feedback about fluency and stuttering to their children in every-day speaking environments and to monitor treatment goals and progress.
This workshop is given by the Lidcombe Program Trainers Consortium

Sessions of 60 minutes each will be led by members of the Lidcombe Program Trainers Consortium and offer the opportunity to discuss clinical issues, focusing on both success and challenges to the treatment of young children who stutter.
