The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children in Clerkenwell, London, has been awarded £340,000 by the Government as part of its efforts to improve services for children and young people with speech, language and communications needs (SLCN).
The money will be used to create two DVDs offering information and advice on stammering. One will be aimed at the educational workforce from pre-school to further education across England and Wales; the second will be aimed at special needs professionals.
Elaine Kelman, a specialist speech and language therapist involved in making the DVDs, says, 'The DVD aimed at schools will be based very much on the thoughts of children who stammer and about what they want their teachers to know and do to manage them.'
