McGuire

I watched the channel 4 program on the McGuire method and it was good but limited information due to editing.

I wonder what the follow up is and if it is just to encourage and coach breath techniques. If it works for you that is excellent and keep it up.

If you can control stammering by behaviour then it supports my view. I would do it a different way.

If anyone is interested in a workshop for a day let me know and I will see what I can do.

Hi Peter,

I didn't see the Mcguire programme but have seen programmes in the past.I believe the breathing is used as a tool to release the speech block.It is much more holistic than just breathing. Maguire did publish a book on his method.I'd be interested in a 1 day workshop if you go ahead with it.

Thanks John

I suspect a minimum of 6 for a workshop would be reasonable.
Can you raise another 5?

Thanks Peter. I was involved a couple of years back in trying to set up a local self help group but it failed miserably due to lack of interest. I can approach the SLP who was involved to see if she can rustle up some interest but before I do so would there be a charge for this day?. Have you also thought about approaching the Edinburgh Group? and of course there is also the Gladsgow group as well.

Peter i did respond last week but it may not have taken. My efforts to start up a self help group last year failed miserably. I could approach my SLT contact to see if there would be an interest. Is there a cost involved?
