One of the reasons is that folks in North America are less familiar with Lidcombe than folks in Australia. I - and a lot of my colleagues - are eager to attend a Lidcombe training program to ensure that we understand the treatment. The online information is helpful, but doesn't substitute for learning from someone who can answer questions.

I think those of us who have been around for a while have seen "the cure" in various forms. It is perhaps better to wait for evidence to come in - from multiple places - before embracing a new treatment. And even the Lidcombe folks admit that they are not sure exactly why the treatment works.

This answer probably isn't worth ten marks - how 'bout seven? ;-)>
