I’d like to encourage a friend to participate in the McGuire Programme. How can I convince him or her of its value, or am I better advised not to push the issue?
It has to be your friend’s decision to join the Programme and he or she must approach it with ownership, commitment and a motivation to do something about his stammering. If that’s not the case, we’d probably rather not see him. We’re not interested in providing a quick fix that will give him a temporary fluency for a short while; we’re much more concerned to work with him, for as long as it takes, to maintain the genuine long-term improvement of his speech.
