Building confidence and resilience in children who stammer
This one-day course will explore the potential impact of stammering on children and young people, and ways to support them (and parents) to build their confidence and resilience. Specific examples will involve clients who stammer however the ideas discussed and strategies explored are applicable to all client groups.
One day introduction for working with children who stammer
This one day workshop is particularly suited to newly qualified Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs), SLTs who have an emerging interest in stammering and SLT students, who would like to find out more about current practice and research. Other professionals (e.g. Educational Psychologists, teachers, GPs, Health Visitors etc) may also find the course a useful way of increasing their knowledge about how to identify stammering, when to refer and how to help.
