A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Perceptions of Parents and Children Participating in the Lidcombe Program for Early Stuttering in Turkiye

The Lidcombe Program was generally perceived positively by Turkish parents and children, with benefits extending beyond fluency to emotional well-being, family interaction, and children's confidence. Challenges such as sibling involvement and children's resistance to self-correction highlight the need for culturally and contextually sensitive adaptations. These findings underscore the importance of including both parental and child perspectives when evaluating early stuttering interventions.
