In January 2006 we launched equivalent CD Roms demonstrating best practice in supporting stammering pupils in Scottish schools. All participants in the filming were invited to the formal launch at an event at the Edinburgh City Chambers on January 18th.
The CDs have since been distributed to all primary, secondary and special schools across Scotland, and to all speech and language therapy departments. We are very grateful to the Scottish Executive for funding this worthwhile project.
The CDs are also available for purchase from BSA at £4.99 each - link to shop.
The three CDs relate to:
best practice in Scottish primary schools
best practice in Scottish secondary schools
preparing for English oral work in S1 - S4.
