The Fluency Trust provides residential fluency courses in activity centres. It believes that the combination of challenging outdoor activities and intensive therapy are complimentary in developing greater confidence and self-esteem, which are vital factors in dealing with the emotional and physical challenges of stammering.
In 2013 the Blockbuster course (10-12 yrs) and Teens Challenge course (13-17 yrs) are again being run together at the same venue, the Skern Lodge Activity Centre in North Devon.
Dates are:
Assessment: 6/7 July 2013
Course: 29 July - 2 August 2013
Follow up day: 28 September 2013
