ABOUT

We are excited to assist Heather Wilkinson in hosting this three-part webinar series on Stuttering.

Stuttering is a clinical area that most speech therapists shy away from, Heather will provide us with the tools to approach stuttering with more confidence and skill.


She will take use through an introduction on stuttering in the first webinar titled - Understanding Stuttering.

Thereafter she will discuss working with children who stutter (session two) and working with adults who stutter (session three).


The sessions can be watched individually, although there will be a definite benefit in attending all three.

More about Heather

Heather graduated from UCT in 1980. She has worked in both the public and private sector in the UK and SA and has always had a particular interest in stuttering.

She considers herself fortunate to have trained with the late Dr Lena Rustin and the team at the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering. This training inspired and influenced the way in which she works with PWS. As a therapist she learned about self-reflection and most importantly, that we can’t ‘fix’ people. We can guide, model, provide information and build client’s confidence to implement change for themselves.

Heather has attended the Oxford Dysfluency conference on 3 occasions and most recently the online conference arranged by Dina Lillian Global Perspectives of Dysfluency which included speakers from the international community and SA.

She is the founder of a group for adults who stutter and she runs children’s groups too.

She has served as a clinical educator and given lectures and workshops on Stuttering in Teens and Adults, including presenting at the SASLHA conference in 2019. She continues to work in private practice, mainly with children and adults who stutter, but also with language disorder and childhood apraxia of speech.
