Why you should…
Stammering is a speech disorder characterised by involuntary repetitions or prolongations of sounds, syllables or words, or by involuntary hesitation or pauses that disrupt the rhythmic flow of speech World Health Organisation, 2001. If you have a child or young person in your setting who stammers and you do not have knowledge about stammering or are unsure of how best to support the child or young person this overview of stammering course will provide you with an understanding of stammering and how best to support the child.
