Say It Your Way This Summer!
Say It Your Way This Summer!
The summer holidays are here and that means summer camps and activities for young people around Ireland.
Summer camps are great fun and provide lots of fun experiences, new skills and new friends. We know that going somewhere new or meeting new people can be more daunting for young people who stammer, so the ISA Youth Council has prepared this free handout to use.
This handout can be shared with coaches and leaders of summer camps to support young people who stammer to feel comfortable and confident.
The handout has some general facts about stammering along with checkboxes to personalise it. We hope young people who stammer can use it to share how camp leaders can help them to feel more comfortable at the camp. For example, you can share how you would like your coaches/leaders to respond during a moment of stammering.
Print if off or take a screenshot and edit the photo to tick your choices then share it with your camp leader!
Thank you to the ISA Youth Council and Youth Officer Penny Farrell for creating this resource!
