“…The reduction of stuttering from a mean of 7.6%SS before treatment to 0.1%SS after treatment was statistically significant with an effect size (Cohen’s d) of 2.9. The results were in line with those reported by Miller and Guitar [22] and Jones et al [23]. …”

“…The reported median number of clinic visits at stage 1 ranges from 11 to 17 [17,18,20,22]. Factors predicting treatment time have been investigated by Jones et al [17] in a retrospective study, where 250 children were placed on a maintenance program after achieving 0.0 or close to 0.0%SS.…”

“…Miller and Guitar [22] reported on a follow-up study of 15 children 12–58 months after stage 2. Eleven out of 15 children showed no stuttering at the clinical follow-up and 13 were considered to be completely fluent by their parents.…”

“…Research has indicated that the Lidcombe Program is an effective treatment for preschool children who stutter [17,18,19,20,21,22]. Jones et al [19] studied 54 children, who were randomized into two groups, where 29 children received immediate treatment according to the Lidcombe Program and 25 children had to wait until the end of the trial before receiving the same treatment, if by then they were still stuttering.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this semicontrolled prospective study was to report on the outcomes of 10 Swedish-speaking children treated with the Lidcombe Program and how the parents viewed the treatment. Method: Ten children at an age from 2:9 to 5:8 (years:months) referred to two clinics for communication disorders were consecutively included in the study. The children had been stuttering for 0:9 to 3:3 with a mean stuttering frequency of 10.1% syllables stuttered (%SS; 0.8–33.9) before treatment. Parents and teachers filled out questionnaires concerning the children’s speech and the parents also answered questions on their views on the program. Results: Eight children completed the program and were reassessed upon completion of the program, about 2 years after progressing to stage 2. There was a significant decrease in mean %SS before and after treatment (7.6 vs. 0.1%, respectively) with a large Cohen effect size (d = 2.9). Parents and teachers found that the treatment had a positive effect on the children’s stuttering and all parents would recommend the Lidcombe Program to other families. Conclusion: The results of this preliminary study suggest that the Lidcombe Program can be an effective treatment for Swedish-speaking preschool children who stutter.

“…Though SSI-3 is a measure of severity of stuttering rather than a way of differentiating between fluent speakers and speakers who stutter, it has been used in a similar manner in other studies (Arnold et al, 2005;Davis et al, 2007). Riley's instrument is thought to provide a more complete analysis than that which is provided by percentage of stuttered syllables, which is a measure of stuttering frequency only (Miller & Guitar, 2009). …”
