How we support parents

• I'm looking for help for my child who stammers, I'm just not sure where to start. Expand

  Whether you’re looking for speech and language therapy for your child, want to find out more about stammering, or simply have questions about our work, our Stammering Support Hub is here for you. Reach out in whatever way works best, phone, email, live chat, or social media DM. It’s completely your choice.

• Do you have resources about stammering that I can share with my child's school? Expand

  We offer the Stammer Awareness Toolkit, an interactive e-learning resource for schools across the UK. Fully funded by ASC, it aims to help schools create supportive and inclusive environments for students who stammer. Please download the leaflet and sample resources from the links below and share them with your child’s school.

• Are there any programmes my child can join to build their confidence or meet other children and young people who stammer? Expand

  We run a range of charity-funded programmes designed for children and young people at every age and stage. Whether it’s group activities that build confidence and friendships or one-to-one career mentoring, there’s something for everyone throughout the year. For a full list of what’s available, please visit our Children and Young People page.

• Can you recommend trustworthy websites where I can learn more about stammering? Expand

  Please visit the knowledge articles in our Support Hub to find the answers you need to support your child. We’ve compiled responses to some of the most frequently asked questions from parents, young people, and professionals working with children and young people who stammer. You’ll find helpful tips informed by young people themselves, as well as research and clinical expertise.

• My child is worried that stammering will stop them from having successful career options. What can I do? Expand

  Start by showing them what is possible. Our Career Champions Video Series showcases professionals who stammer working in every industry imaginable. They share honest stories about challenges and breakthroughs, sending one clear message: stammering never has to limit your child’s career dreams. These inspiring interviews can help young people see themselves in any role they choose.
