Hi everybody,
Recently, I've been hearing a lot about the Lidcombe program. Dr. Guitar mentioned some positives during a talk he gave at NSA 2000 and Dr. Ann Cordes Bothe's positive decription of an adapted Lidcombe approach in her article in this conference. I am really interested in everyone's opinion on this approach. When I first read about it, I was shocked because I thought it was everything I was told not to do or tell parents to do. But, I've only heard positives and as Dr. Bothe wrote in an answer to a question of mine in this conference, she corrects the kids "as positively as possible." Have I been telling parents the wrong things for the past year or is the Lidcombe program just another possibility in the ever widening whirlpool that is fluency therapy? Thanks.
