Therapy Options
The team of therapists is trained in a range of treatment approaches;
some have been developed at the centre over many years of clinical
experience while other approaches have been introduced as necessary.
A specialist centre should be able to offer a number of alternative
programmes, as one method of therapy cannot fit everyone.
We believe that parents or other adults close to the child are
the key to success in therapy. They are the experts in their child
and have a real understanding of the demands and pressures of daily
life for their family.
We know that parents don't cause stammering; we also know that
parents can have a very positive effect on helping to build their
child's confidence and ability to manage the stammer.
It is not possible to go into full detail of all the methods,
so the following is an outline of the most usual approaches.
