This book is a useful tool to enable people to gain a better understanding of stammering... It is accessible for children and young people, parents and professionals. Written from the child's perspective, the book gives an honest account of how he feels about his stammer as well as what is helpful to support him and what it unhelpful...Some very useful strategies are given for supporting children who stammer, including a range of contexts at school, at home and in the community. There is a summery at the end of the book of suggestions of how to help a child who stammers. The book concludes with some very useful resources and websites to give further information on where to go for additional help. I would recommend using this book as an introduction for learning about children who stammer.
