Hi everyone-PLease note that stuttering in Britain is called stammering.  I hope this helps. I just discnarged another six year old who is now stutter free.  This program cannot be done in the schools as it requires parent involvement and must be done not only by a lidcombe trained SLP, but one who specializes in stuttering thera;y.  Any questions, please ask. tks Lori

Lori,

I just have to say how thrilled we are with Braden’s progress through the Lidcombe program. Braden began speaking at a very young age, so you can imagine our concern when he also developed a stutter before he turned 2.  Everyone told us “don’t  worry, he’ll grow out of it”… but he didn’t grow out of it, it only got progressively worse and then the secondary characteristics (blinking his eyes, getting frustrated) appeared.  But the day he told said “Mommy, I don’t want to talk anymore” was the day I knew we needed to do something about it.

Braden has been in the Lidcombe program for less than a year and he stutter is almost completely gone. It brings me such joy to listen to him talk and carry on conversations with us and his friends with no trouble and compete confidence.  My gut tells me that he would not have outgrown this on his own.  Lori, you have been so amazing through his process and your guidance and persistence has helped us to guide his progress.  He always looks forward to “going to Lori” because you make the process so organic for young children. He feels like he’s just playing.  We will be forever grateful for your compassion and dedication. You are a true advocate for all young children and for that I’m truly grateful!

Speech Struggles: Stuttering and what to do about it?

This is a new article I have coming out in Oct.1

I am sorry I haven’t posted as much lately as I have been busy treating many people who stutter. It was a great summer seeing many preschoolers either eliminate stuttering or decrease it tremendously.  This was effective for many age groups.  Communication is vital!! Seek help early!!  Also, I want to wish the college students who worked with me a great year. I will miss you. Glad the teens are still here.

Trying to create stutter free speech for school aged children???
  Posted On: July 20th, 2011

Hi everyone-

Is it possible to eliminate stuttering in school aged children?  Lidcombe combined with some fluency shaping can help.  Can I guarantee stuttering will be eliminated? No, but my success rate up to age 6 is fairly high.   Even it has not been eliminated (in most cases , not all but most, it has been if the program has been implemented properly with weekly visits and completing maintenance).  I have recently had success even up to age 7.

After age 7, we can use fluency tools to help manage stuttering and increase fluency.  Call with any questions.  Stuttering is my specialty and passion. I am glad to help.  I also am accepting CPSE for the fall for Lidcombe.  Stay cool everyone. It is very hot in NY.

Who is at risk for beginning stuttering?
  Posted On: July 6th, 2011

To parents:

There is hope! Please seek early and don’t assume your child will outgrow it. Important to seek help from a speech pathologist specializing in stuttering.

1. males- 4 males stutter to every 1 female (lucky me-LOL)

2. onset after age 3

3. Stuttering for 3 or more months

4.  Struggle behavior noted.

5. History of stuttering in the family.

6. Signs of awareness and frustration.
