The company SuperPenguin invites you to help improve its app, which is currently used in the NHS to support families of children who stammer.

Their innovative app is designed to help parents and carers feel more confident about giving support to children who stammer, and was developed with experienced speech therapists and people who stammer, with the support of organisations including STAMMA.

An early version of SuperPenguin's app has been adopted by 25 NHS speech & language therapy services. For the next phase, they want to build an improved version and would love you to be involved.

They are looking for people who stammer or have experience supporting children or friends who stammer to join one of two advisory groups: one for adults and one for young people aged 18-25.

What will it involve?

Attending online meetings where you will get to:

• use your own experiences to advise and provide feedback
• help make sure the app is easy to use and the content is helpful
• look at the app's design and features, and suggest improvements
• brainstorm and collaborate on ideas for videos, social media posts or other ways to promote it.

Benefits

• Make a difference to the lives of families and children who stammer.
• Enhance your CV with valuable professional experience.
• Gain experience and insight into developing a mobile app.

Fancy getting involved? If you would like to join one of the advisory groups, or get more information, email Ronan at ronan@superpenguin.com
