If you’re a speechie working with children who stutter, you’ll know that supporting parents to feel confident with home practice is such an important part of the Lidcombe Program.
When your client is completing the Lidcombe Program, there can be a lot for parents to remember between speech pathology sessions.
How long should we practise for?
What activity should we choose?
What feedback should I give?
What was their severity rating today?
That’s why we created our Stuttering Home Program resource as a simple, parent-friendly handout designed to help families keep their home practice organised and consistent — and I’m sharing it with fellow speechies for FREE! 💛
What’s included?
- This one-page resource gives families an easy place to refer back to between sessions, including:
- Daily Severity Rating and practice reminders
- Examples of verbal feedback for stutter-free speech and stuttering
- Ideas for structuring home practice
- A simple hierarchy from word level → phrase level → sentences → conversation
- Easy activity ideas using games, books and familiar activities
- A section for families to record Severity Ratings, activities and comments across the week
Making home practice feel manageable
There can be a lot for parents to remember when implementing strategies at home, particularly when they’re first getting started.
I wanted something simple, visual and practical that I could give families after a session, so they had the key information we had discussed in one place.
It’s designed to be used alongside your clinical education and individualised recommendations, rather than as a standalone Lidcombe Program guide.
