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.
