My son was attending Speech and Language Therapy in John Mitchell place and he was lucky enough to be offered a place on their summer scheme last year. It was the first year of it and we didn't know what to expect.
From the moment he met with Kerith - the Speech and Language therapist - he was instantly at ease and got on so well with her. He can be shy and quiet at times, but Kerith was bright and bubbly with him and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable but all the while equipping him with brilliant tools for him to help manage his stutter.
He got a lot out of this and often talks about it. This was a brilliant idea and I hope it runs this summer as its so beneficial for the children. Kerith deserves massive praise for her kindness and enthusiasm and I feel my son got so much out of this! Any child that is offered a place on this course should definitely do this!
"A very positive summer scheme"
