The new treatment rooms were official opened by Gerda Wilson on
the 19th May 2002. This gives a more comfortable and adaptable
environment to work in. With
rooms on the ground floor making it easier for disabled people. A
two-way
mirror makes
it more adaptable
for
the purposes of
teaching and training. It
will also increase the usage
of the work carried
out at
the Apple House.

6 Day Fluency Course.
The course combines both speech modification and fluency
modification approaches, focusing on reducing the amount of stammering,
and regaining control over both the moments of stammered speech, and,
more generally, the process of speaking. We will also spend time
confronting issues such as avoidance, and negative attitudes and
feelings toward speaking. The degree to which various techniques are
used varies from person to person, so although there is a group format,
goals of the course are somewhat individualised to the needs of each
person. However, one common goal of the course is to ensure that, during
the 6 days, all attendees have extended opportunities to carry-over
progress into more challenging every day speaking situations away from
the Apple House.
If you feel you might be interested in attending, or at least would like
to know more about the course, please either email me d.ward@reading.ac.uk
or write or phone me at the Apple House.
The 6 day fluency course
(for those who stammer and/or clutter) Will be held at
the Apple House on Monday September 20th -
Saturday 25th, inclusive. It will combine
fluency control techniques (such as stammering
modification as well cluttering modification) alongside
work on changing self perceptions and building
confidence.
People from outside the
Oxford area may also be eligible, but would be subject
to a fee payable to Oxfordshire PCT.
For further
