King’s Speech workshop at Canadian Stuttering Association, 2011

Janet Gibson, TFC President, attended the Canadian Stuttering Association (CSA) ‘Making Connections’ Conference in Vancouver, Canada in August, 2011. Janet presented a workshop based on the recent Oscar-winning movie The Kings’ Speech, called ‘Therapies for a King – How does Lionel Logue’s Therapy Plan compare to Therapies of Today?’.

“Researching this topic was so interesting.” says Janet, “My respect and admiration for both King George VI and his Speech Therapist Lionel Logue, are huge after learning so much more about their lives and their relationship through the King’s stuttering challenges.”
