Nan, I'd like to clarify further what we reported in our study (Bonelli et al., 2000). I think it is important to point out that there was no evidence that the children in this study changed their language production in any systematic way as a result of the Lidcombe Program. This lead us to conclude that "it is clear that this treatment is not associated with clinically significant curtailment of language functioning in children" (p. 443).
