YOUR article ‘Gwent teen overcoming stammer using Educating Yorkshire method’ (Argus, September 10) did an excellent job in educating your readers about The McGuire Programme, but did not address other sources of information about stammering.
In addition to the information in your article about this programme, I recommend that your readers check out some websites of non-profit charity groups that help people who stutter.
First, the websites of The British Stammering Association (www.stammering.org) is excellent in telling people about the resources available in the UK.
Also, and the US-based Stuttering Foundation (www.stammeringhelp.org) provides numerous free resources such as downloadable material and streaming videos, which have helped people all over the world.
The Stuttering Foundation also has a global outreach to over 130 nations annually, mostly underdeveloped countries. Many people who stammer have found success with The McGuire Programme, but there are also many other good sources of information on stammering besides an information session on The McGuire Programme.
