A two day Palin PCI course followed by one extra day of skills training

This five day workshop is designed for speech and language therapists (SLTs) looking to develop their skills in working with children and young people who stammer up to the age of 14 years. It will be particularly suited to therapists who wish to increase knowledge and confidence in assessing and treating children who stammer from pre-school up to secondary age.

This two day workshop provides the ideal starting point for developing your skills with children under seven who stammer. Palin PCI is an evidenced-based approach for early stammering which is widely used across the UK and internationally.

This three day course will link Cognitive Therapy theory to practical therapy techniques which can be used in work with children, teenagers and adults who stammer, as well as in work with any clients where exploring psychological issues such as communication anxiety or emotional responses to having a communication disorder is relevant.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to help people to live better by increasing how flexibly they respond to difficulty.

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

This three day workshop will aim to increase speech and language therapists’ knowledge and skills in assessing and treating primary school-aged children. The course will also aim to develop participants’ confidence in the management of this age group. It will be supported by video, discussion, skills practice and clinical resources that will be emailed to participants in advance of the course. This course is appropriate for therapists working with children from 8 to 14 years old.

This 2-day workshop is designed to reach young children under the age of eight years of age. It equips professionals working in early education and healthcare settings, with the knowledge and skills they need to model and teach resilience approaches to young children.

This workshop will aim to increase participants’ understanding of the issues involved in working with secondary school students who stammer, their confidence in assessing overt and covert aspects of stammering, and their skills in integrating speech management, communication skills and psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in packages of care which reflect individual need. The course will present work which can be adapted for individual or group therapy for teenagers aged 15 -18 years.

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 have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
