An Evaluation of a National Teaching Programme

Willie Botterill, Frances Cook and Ali Biggart

This presentation will outline the background to the development of a national teaching programme for generalist and specialist therapists in the management of children who stutter. It will discuss the delivery of two three-day teaching packages for working with under sevens and seven to fourteen year olds who stutter. We will evaluate participants’ feedback forms both quantitatively and qualitatively. In conclusion we will present the results of a questionnaire designed to identify changes in practice over the medium to long term. We will reflect on the impact this training has had on local service delivery.
