This book provides essential information and guidance about stammering for those in an educational setting. The authors

"demonstrate how early intervention is essential if children who stammer are to have the best chance of recovery, the practical strategies that can help children's oral participation in class, particularly in the light of ... the literacy hour and the national numeracy strategy, the ways in which teachers can address the educational and social implications of stammering and reverse the risk of underachieving ..., and how to prepare pupils for exams, particularly in secondary schools where they may be taking oral examinations."

Each chapter includes case studies, practical tasks and activities that can be used in the school setting.

This book is invaluable background reading for teachers, teaching assistants or speech and language therapists working in a school setting.

Parents of children who stammer will also find valuable help and guidance.
