Hi, I was wondering what is the accepted theoretical explanation on why the Lidcombe program works for young children? Because its a behavioral conditioning therapy program done by parents. Its not traditional speech therapy by an SLP practicing fluency techniques. How successful is the Lidcombe methods when applied to older kids, and can the punishment and rewards basis be applied to school age children? Thanks, Jennifer
