This one-day (under 7s) course is designed for speech and language therapists (SLTs) who wish to develop their direct speech management skills in working with children and young people who stammer (CWS).

It is recommended that participants who attend this course have attended one of our core courses run by the Michael Palin Centre in the general management of stammering (i.e. a Palin PCI, or Primary, or Secondary course) in order to ensure that the direct approaches are set in the wider therapy context. If you only work with children under 7 it is possible to attend day one only if preferred (please state this on your application form).

This study day has emerged out of an interest in learning more, and in response to requests from SLTs, about how to support children who stammer (CWS) who also are Autistic.

A two day Palin PCI course followed by one extra day of skills training with six hours of individual clinical supervision face to face or via Skype, through the following year.
