What others have said about this Palin PCI workshop

“Hands down the best training I have ever attended; what a beautiful fusion of research and clinical expertise.”

“I’m gained new way of looking at my caseload overall – not just the children who are stuttering – focusing on solutions and what is already working well rather than problems.”

“The content was rich with concepts and ideas and taught in a way that bridge a variety of experience levels. It offered ideas for beginners as well as expert.

“It has changed the way that I relate to clients, encourage whole family participation and focus on client strengths and their own experience. “

“I hope to adapt our pathway and service delivery to better meet clients’ needs and maximise efficiency.”

“I avoided stammering clients previously, or would drag out the assessment process until I could seek advice from a specialist colleague. I now feel more confident to carry out this approach.”
