Have you got a child who stammers? Come to our Family Day in Nottingham this August.
Family Day is a day for parents and guardians of children who stammer — and for the children themselves. It will be held during our national conference, STAMMAFest, on Saturday 17th August at Nottingham Trent University.
There will be fun activities where children can meet others their own age who stammer. Plus, there'll be sessions where you as parents and guardians can meet other parents, ask questions, and share and talk about your experiences.
Children & young people
In the morning, your child, or children, can attend 2 to 3 different activities with others of a similar age, with breaks for refreshments.
Sessions 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's like to have a child who stammers.
Supporting the sessions will be specialist speech & language therapists (SLTs) and adults who stammer (some SLTs may also stammer, and may also have children who stammer).
Afternoon activities
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.
Prices
The Family Day price is £12 per parent and £7 per child. The ticket prices include refreshments and lunch.
