Rosie McLean, from University College London, invites parents of young children who stammer to join her for an interview.

Rosie says, "With this study, we want to understand the experiences of young children who stammer (under 7 years old) from their parent's point of view. We also want to understand what it's like being a parent of a young child who stammers.

'Research has found that the way society views stammering can change depending on how adults or children who stammer view themselves. We want to know whether this is important to consider for younger children and their parents". 

Why do we want to research this?

Rosie explains: "Currently, very little is known about this topic, so we want to learn more to help us understand the best way to support young children in stammering therapy. Therapy is often a joint process between the child, their parents and the therapist. So, it is important for us to understand parents' experiences, so we know how to support them through this process". 

What's involved?

Rosie invites you to join her for an interview that should last for an hour. You need to be parent of a young child who stammers, aged under 7.
