Children & Young People

On Saturday morning there will be sessions for children and young people. They'll attend 2-3 different activities with others of a similar age with breaks for refreshments in-between. Sessions can range from making fun TikTok-style videos to learning circus skills or building playdough sculptures. As well as giving children a chance to meet others, the activities also aim to build confidence, develop their social skills and support them to have more positive thoughts and feelings about stammering.

Parents & Guardians

For parents and guardians, there will be a series of short talks, Q&A sessions and time to meet with others and discuss what it is like to have a child who stammers. Supporting the sessions will be specialist speech & language therapists and adults who stammer (some speech & language therapists may also stammer, and may also have children who stammer).

Afternoon

After lunch, families are welcome to join in the main conference and take part in some of our family-friendly workshops and events. Depending on the age and needs of your child, you can attend just the morning of Family Day or stay for the afternoon workshops as well if you want to. 

Lunch and refreshments are included within the Family Day ticket price.
