What opinions do speech and language therapists have of the McGuire Programme?
From the beginning, we have engaged positively with the professional community, obtained their views and input, and worked cooperatively for the improved prospects of people who stammer. Many speech therapists have attended our intensive courses and suggested changes that have improved aspects of our programme. Others have sought to learn from our approach and have referred clients to us. Because we operate an “open-door” policy, we invite interested speech and language therapists to observe and participate in our events, at no cost, to learn more about what we offer. To ensure the validity of observation, we recommend that therapists observe courses in their entirety and that they take time to observe and evaluate our follow-up support programme.
