“…The Lidcombe Program is now used in many countries around the world, for example in Canada [12] , the UK [13] , New Zealand [14] , South Africa [15] , Germany [6] , Holland [16] and the USA [17] . One reason for its popularity is that the parents can do the treatment according to their own parenting style and cultural traditions.…”

Objective: In this study, the immediate and extended effects of the Lidcombe Program were investigated for the first time in Iran. Treatment in the Lidcombe Program is carried out by the child’s parent (or carer) in the child’s everyday environment. The program has been shown to be effective with preschool children who stutter (i.e. younger than 6 years) and to a lesser extent with older children. Participant and Method: The participant was a bilingual (Baluchi-Persian) boy aged 8 years 11 months. Treatment was conducted in both languages. Stuttering severity was measured in Baluchi with the parental rating scale, and in Persian with percentage of syllables stuttered (%SS). Results: The child completed stage 1 of the program in 13 weeks. %SS was less than 1 during the last 3 clinic visits and severity ratings made by the parent indicated no stuttering (severity rating = 1) for all days of the final week. Speech recordings made beyond the clinic in both languages also indicated stuttering at below 1%SS. The child met all criteria for stage 2 in both languages, over 10 months. Conclusion: This case report suggests that the Lidcombe Program could be suitable for bilingual Iranian children who stutter.

“…Both studies show that treatment with the Lidcombe Program early on is more efficacious than no formal therapy for preschool children who stutter. Franken, Kielstra-Van der Schalk, and Boelens (2005) compared the Lidcombe Program to a Demands and Capacities Model treatment. Thirty preschool children were randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups.…”

“…It can be said that the Lidcombe Program tried to reduce children’s stuttering successfully through targeting children’s stuttering directly and applying strategies such as praising and asking for self-evaluation of speech without stuttering, providing information about speech with and without stuttering, and asking for self-correction of stuttering. Experimental and clinical research studies, such as those of Wilson et al [58] (2004), Franken et al [59] (2005), Lewis et al [60] (2008), Lattermann et al [5] (2007), and Miller and Guitar [61] (2009), indicate that stuttering can be controlled via this method. According to the model of Al-Khaledi et al [51], direct treatments focus on stuttering triggers (the second factor in this model).…”

Purpose: The present study explored the effectiveness of the Lidcombe Program, the parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) approach, and an integrated (Lid-PCIT) program on the treatment of children who stutter. Methods: The present research was a single-subject study with an alternative treatment design. Participants were 6 preschool children who were randomly assigned into three groups. Each group received the entire indirect (PCIT), direct (Lidcombe), or integrated (Lid-PCIT) program and were assessed through severity rating (SR), and percent stuttered syllables (%SS), and video analysis. Results: For all children the SR and the %SS were reduced but the percentage of non-overlapping data of the three interventions showed that it was reduced more in the Lidcombe and in the Lid-PCIT programs. Conclusions: This study provided preliminary evidence that Lidcombe, PCIT, and integrated programs were effective in reducing the SR and the %SS in preschool children who stutter. These results are potentially important as both indirect and direct interventions in the primary years can help children who stutter to overcome their disorder.
