Hi Traci For videoconferencing doing a parent training program such as the Lidcombe Program where the parent does the therapy and brings materials on site for samples, activities etc, I would say age 5 and up. That does depend on the child's maturity, ability to sit/attend etc). For the Lidcombe Program using webconferncing/phone/supplemented with sent audio/video samples, the child could be younger (3 or 4). If I was doing the therapy via videoconferencing (for example fluency skill focus), it does tend to work a little better with an older child (7+), depending on maturity and comfort level with the equipment. Best regards, Elizabeth
