No, the Lidcombe program is meant to be used by parents and very young children. It is not even known if clinicians can use it effectively with children because it makes use of the contexts of parent-child interaction. It is not known exactly what permits the parental feedback to help children gain fluency, but even its authors would not propose using it with adults at this time. Sydney folks, care to respond? Nan
