Stammering
Stammering is when people repeat or stretch out words and sounds when they are talking. They can also sometimes become blocked where they cannot say the sound and there is often a period of silence while they try to speak.
Stammering can sometimes have a significant impact on a person's life affecting their desire to communicate and interact with people.
My Experience
I have worked with children who stammer for over 10 years. I worked within the NHS as the clinical lead for stammering and since leaving the NHS I have continued to work with children who stammer offering individualised assessment and therapy.
I love getting to know children and their families and watching them flourish and their confidence grow!
Stammering Groups
I am hoping to start a stammering support group, which research suggests is a vital part of helping children who stammer to be happy and feel confident. My experience as a stammering specialist has shown me that once children are aware of their stammer being in a group is so powerful;
- Children know they are not alone
- They can speak to other people who 'get it'
- They can share their thoughts and feelings linked with their stammer
- children learn having a stammer is not bad!
Join us!
I am starting a stammering support group which I hope can meet on a regular basis for a minimal cost to cover expenses. I am in the early stages of this so now is a great time to get involved to help me shape how it should look!
If your child is aware of their stammer and over the age of 7 please contact me.
