ABSTRACT

Over many years the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children (MPC)

has provided training to hundreds of therapists, giving them the skills they

need to treat young children eff ectively. We know that accessing training is

sometimes diffi cult, so this book is intended to help more therapists to provide

early intervention. However, a book cannot replace a training course, where

therapists will learn, through watching videos and doing practical exercises,

the methods and skills demonstrated. We recommend that learning from

this book is enhanced through initially working alongside another therapist

where possible.
