Workshops and Study Days
All workshops and study days are for qualified speech and language therapists, with the exception of the 3-day Palin PCI which is also open to student speech and language therapists in their final year of training and our RIRO course which is open to teachers and other professionals.
Selected workshops have capacity for a number of participants to attend by teleconferencing or Skype.
All of our workshops are supported by Action for Stammering Children (ASC). Selected Palin PCI courses are fully-funded by ASC.
