Courses at the MPC

This is a special opportunity for therapists who previously attended a Palin PCI course since 2008 to refresh and update their knowledge and skills about this approach to working with children up to seven years who stammer.

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 two day online 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.

Please note the 5 days are split between two seperate weeks. Days 1-2 = 21st-22nd January 2021. Days 3-5 = 27th-29th January 2021. 9am-5pm UK time. 

This course aims to equip therapists with the knowledge and skills required to confidently assess and provide evidence-based therapy for children who stammer from preschool to secondary school age. A chance to immerse yourself in stammering therapy for a week and to really build your confidence in working with children who stammer across the age-range.

This three day course provides an introduction to CBT and its application to work with children and adults who stammer, and other clients with communication difficulties which impact on their psychological wellbeing.

This is a 2-day course exploring direct speech work with children and young people who stammer (CWS). Feel equipped with a range of strategies across the ages, and know how to select appropriate approaches for individual clients. Have a greater awareness of the guiding principles as to if and/or when to introduce direct speech strategies.

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.
