The Independent Advisory Panel is grateful to you and others who have put forward your solutions to reduce suffering and the risk of tragedy. Your work on mental health and communication disorders sounds like it could be of great support to prisoners.
What a fascinating talk – I really engaged with what you said and feel I’m on the road to understanding stammering. I think you could use ‘Disempower the stammer’ as your catchphrase – it’s memorable while still getting across the meaning. I was very interested to hear you say that there is ‘Nothing to cure’ and that the stammerer does it to themselves. That’s something I hadn’t thought about before (one of my best friends has a stammer and I will recommend this to her. Again I had no idea that many famous people stammer – I really like how you focus on Rowan Atkinson and Blackadder – how he ‘Modified’ the stammer and how that is a positive technique and way to work with stammering. Extremely interesting and well performed. Thank you for educating me more.
