Treatment of early stuttering

Jones et al. (2005) investigated the efficacy of the so-called Lidcombe therapy for the treatment of stuttering in early childhood. The study is a randomized trial on 99 children, comparing Lidcombe with treatment as usual (TAU). The significance level is set at α=5% two-tailed.
