As in the previous article, on epilepsy, most teachers will have had some contact with pupils who stammer. Roberta Lees takes us through the background to the disorder, how to properly diagnose and treat it. She particularly stresses the need for collaboration with the speech and language therapist. She concludes that this is not only a matter for professionals; the child is also an active participant.
