Description
The book is co written by a specialist speech and language therapist and by a journalist and health writer who is a parent of child who stammers... The authors sensitively reflect the views of children... The book gently and emphatically explore how it feels to stammer, what helps those who stammer, what is found to be unhelpful, explore myths and challenges assumptions. There are useful factual sections on prevalence, what causes stammering and likely prognosis, as well as written chapters which give it support and advice to parents and teachers... All in all an easily accessible, highly insightful, emotional read. I would recommend the book for any EP who might be working with a child who stammers.
