ABOUT THE WORKSHOP The Lidcombe Program is a behavioral 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. Studies have shown that this is an efficacious and effective evidence-based treatment for stuttering. The Lidcombe Program has been adjusted for school-age children and special populations. The 2-day workshop is divided in 4 mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
