Recensioner i media

This book is a fantastic resource for parents and families, as well as for teaching staff and support workers. The authors state their hope that this book will help parents and families understand what stammering is and how it affects children, parents and families, as well as providing useful advice on how to support the child who stammers. These readable, clearly presented chapters are very likely to achieve this.
