If you are worried that your child may be stammering, it would be a good idea to book a Stammering Advice Session. We offer these sessions in person or virtually
We have found that virtual call sessions can be particularly useful, organised at a time to suit you, and we offer these sessions up to a 9pm start.
The most important thing about these sessions is that all key adults in the child’s life attend, not just the parent who books the session. That’s why a virtual call can be so much more productive, allowing even grandparents to join the call.
Within this 45 minute session, we can easily ascertain the severity of your child’s stammer and discuss support strategies and appropriate management.
It is usually better if your child is not part of the first session, as we will be talking about them in-depth and exploring family life and dynamics, but if you prefer they can be included.
From the session, you will be clear on what the targets are and the steps required to achieve them. Should your child be present, informal activities in this session will always be disguised as a fun game.
A Stammering Advice Session costs £150
And, we have recently put together an online training presentation video with lots of useful ideas on how you can support a child who stammers. It explains the theory behind stammering, so the advice given then makes complete sense. It deep dives into pressures and demands placed on children for language and how to alleviate some of these. There is so much advice packed into this training video. It talks about things that we shouldn’t do too, which we might mistakenly think will help. This video also gives lots of ideas for promoting a better understanding and acceptance of stammering that we hope your child can learn from and take forward into the wider society. It was created to help support school staff, but we feel it is equally beneficial for parents.
We are offering a parent discount on this training presentation. Contact Us for more information on how to access.
