I cannot begin to express my appreciation to all my fellow stammerers in the course. The support and encouragement was much needed and gratefully received. They really cared that we were getting on well and nothing was too much trouble. Vanna who is a student from Greece was absolutely brilliant. Let's hope she stays in England when she is fully qualified, I know she will help many stammerers.
More speech therapists specialising in stammering are much needed.
The course is not completely finished. There are several follow-up days, one which I attended two weeks after the completion of the course and another scheduled five weeks later with a final follow up day three months later. David and vanna wish to keep in touch and everyone has swapped phone numbers and email addresses. So constant help and support is available on a continuing basis. Stammer therapy is not easy and while the course was a brilliant experience, I am fully aware that this is just the beginning of what I see as a life-long therapy course.
