Requesting an appointment with a doctor’s referral for speech and language services and a recently passed vision & hearing screening will allow us to get started right away. If you do not have a doctor’s referral for a communication delay, we will start with some intake information and an evaluation to determine the areas of need your child is demonstrating.

If your child in kindergarten or younger, gather some toys from around the house (stackables, blocks or legos, bubbles, paper and pencil, books).
If your child is first grade or older, we can still use those toys but we can also start to do therapy around their “homework.”
If your child is in elementary or middle school, we can still bring their homework but I will also prepare some materials to go through each time.

Lidcombe is a unique program for children six years and younger who stutter. It is statistically proven to alleviate dysfluencies at a greater rate than spontaneous recovery.
The first phase of the program is weekly visits with parent education. Parents monitor their child's dysfluencies each day using a 0-10 scale. At the following session, parent(s) review the week with their speech pathologist and work together for the treatment session.
The second phase of treatment is to facilitate carryover or generalization. Sessions last 30 minutes and are used to review the parent's measures. In the reminder of the session, if your child is consistent with the parent measures, they continue and/or progress to less frequent visits.
Direct intervention with the speech pathologist is gradually reduced from weekly visits to bi-weekly then monthly check-ins.
Your child may go forward or backwards during the course of the program. The Lidcombe program is a significant time commitment and can take a year to complete.
