Kevin Paul FOWER Gave A Wonderful Presentation on PALIN PCI Training
The Palin PCI: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy Training, which was organized by Michael Palin Centre For Stammering ​in London and the DILGEM Academy, was presented by Kevin Paul FOWER at Divan Asia hotel in Istanbul.

Palin Parent Child Interaction therapy is an early intervention approach that was designed for stammering and has been adapted for use with children with other speech and language needs, as well as with children and other adults e.g. education staff/carers. The transferable skills taught in this course include engaging parents in the assessment and therapy process; communicating complex and/or sensitive information to parents; using video feedback to develop parents’ confidence and skills; and addressing wider child management issues with parents, e.g. emotional, behavioural issues. These skills are applicable with a wide range of clinical contexts and caseloads.

This three-day workshop is particularly suited to student SLTs close to qualification and to newly qualified therapists and to overseas therapists who may benefit from the pace of the course being slightly gentler and from additional skills practice time.

The participants of this course;

  • Gain skills in assessing and identifying those children who are at risk of more persistent problems, as well as in the treatment of early stammering.
  • Learn the assessment and management of this age group and is potentially applicable for children up to 7 years of age.
  • Practice their skills and discuss how they can improve.
