Michael Palin Centre For Stammering

We help children, young people and adults who stammer from all over the world. Our small but unique service provides an assessment and therapy programme based on understanding each individual who stammers and delivering a comprehensive approach to help them to become confident and successful communicators. We involve parents, therapists and teachers in our therapy programmes as we recognise that it is essential to have a strong support mechanism around the individual who stammers. We also run a comprehensive international training programme for speech and language therapists, providing specialist courses, with cutting-edge techniques, to help provide a better understanding of stammering and how to treat it. We also have a small research department to investigate the nature of stammering and the effectiveness of therapy, enabling us to contribute to the global academic discussion on the subject.
