Full of really amazing moments. Am blubbing away at how brave these people are and also how much progress they are making.

I am blubbing away too!

It takes a lot to make me 'well up'. This did it though. And when I wasn't blubbing I just kept finding myself with a big smile on my face when people made any progress.

It must be such a relief and so liberating to have techniques to cope and to get your words out.

It seems (on the surface) such a simple technique too. But there must be more to it then was shown on the programme.

Wow! That was great TV last night. It is really humbling to see a skill we take for granted having such debilitating effect on people's lives.

My son had a stammer between the age of 3-4 years old. It just went naturally, we don't even remember when. I watched the programme last night with my now 12 year old chatty and confident son thinking 'there by the grace of a God go I.'

Just caught up with this- wonderful programme-blubbed all the way through it. Blush

The transformation in Mushraf was particularly incredible- he seemed to have the very worst stammer- was just lovely to see him at the end in the classroom confidently speaking to the young students at his old school.
