ABOUT STAMMERING

Children

Stammering means that your words get stuck when you speak. About 5% of children stammer so, if you stammer, you are not alone.

You can get loads of information here about:

  • What is stammering?
  • Why do people stammer?
  • Who I can talk to about it?
  • How can I attend the MPC?
  • Top tips
  • What if I'm being teased?

“I gained a fantastic grounding in CBT and the interweaving with other therapeutic tools and ways of working with all clients. I came to develop my CBT skills with a voice caseload. Although the course relates to stammering I can see that the skills and knowledge are easily transferable to my caseload.”
