Background:

The Lidcombe Program is a widely used stuttering intervention for children aged 3-6 years.
Existing research predominantly focuses on its application in English-speaking contexts.
This review examines the adaptation and effectiveness of the Lidcombe Program in non-native English-speaking countries.

Conclusions:

Speech and language therapists can effectively utilize the Lidcombe Program for children who stutter in non-native English-speaking countries.
Adaptation may necessitate extended therapy duration.
Further research is needed to explore the therapeutic process with children and parents in these contexts.
