The speech therapists I seen are currently unable to help my acquired neurogenic stammer improve, but that fact that there's professionals trying to help makes the biggest difference. Please do whatever you can to ensure this provision continues, because as an adult who's lost their normal speech it makes the world of difference. If it helps to cite examples of my experiences with speech therapy, you can find it all on my blog http://stammerheadshark.wordpress.com Take care and good luck with your fight! Jo Hi,

As a SLP of 18 years, 15 in the US public school system (where unions are still strong as a necessity) I have seen our profession routinely ignored, dissed and just about spit upon. I have been following a series of stories out of Ireland about the lack of therapists and have now found your concerns. I do have a basic question, who is the professional association in the UK and Ireland? It is ASHA in the US, is there a analogous organization over where you are? God bless all that you do and good luck. Hello:
