Paul has completed a degree in Human Communication (Speech and
Language therapy). If you want to go along
to talk to either of them you will be most
welcome. If you are under 18, they ask
that you attend with a parent or guardian. If you are an
adult but want a friend present, that is no problem either.
Catherine Holland,
an SLT at the Peterborough District Hospital will
be talking to the new group about what she can do to provide
Speech Therapy at the District Hospital.
Keith is also
working a lot globally with all nationalities. One of
his International Stuttering Association
(ISA) projects is set out in
www.indiastammering.com.
Keith said, "The
Indian team I have working with me has done a tremendous job. With
others in the team I am also involved in making a bid for holding
the 9th World Congress for People Who Stutter in India in 2010."
"When time
permits, I will be doing the same kind of project in Pakistan. I
would welcome support from the local Asian Communities with
relatives back in Asia who are fluent or who stammer",
Keith continued.
"From my
contacts in Asia, my understanding is that there is a real stigma
attached to those who stammer. Stammerers have a difficult time
getting jobs, and very hard time getting a job to match their
intellect. Raising Stammering Awareness in Asia is a worthwhile task
to help those who stammer and to help the different Nations use the
abilities of stammerers."

meeting are available on
