Mark Onslow has asked that I clarify my discussion of the language impacts of the Lidcombe program. The article I refer to does this more fully, but I will reassure readers that the children observed in that study were still using age appropriate language after Lidcombe treatment. They had started with an unusually high profile of language production (using relatively longer utterances than would be expected for their ages) and were more age-appropriate at the close of therapy.
