What support does ASC offer 11 - 18 year olds?

At ASC, we’re here for you with practical information, support and guidance. Get involved with research and campaigning for change, or meet other young people who stammer so that you can ask questions and share experiences.

Want to understand your stammer?

If you have questions about stammering, you might like to start by looking through the rest of the articles in this section. These are questions that young people who stammer often ask us. If your question isn’t answered, get in touch:

• DM us via Instagram, Facebook or Twitter/X
• Drop us an email
• Chat with the Stammerbot on this page
• Give us a call 020 3960 5003

Take a look at our Top Tips, and check out our Resources which include posters, book recommendations and short video clips. These might be helpful for you or you can share them with friends and family to help them better understand stammering. 

Interested in group support?

We fund several programmes for teenagers who stammer. Our residential stammering courses help you to build confidence, resilience and acceptance around stammering, while taking part in outdoor activities with your peers. We also fund a one-week course online that offers all the same benefits, just without the outdoor activities! 

Take a look at the links at the bottom of the page for more examples of the programmes we fund for 11-18 year olds. 

Thinking about your future?

If you’re starting to think about what you're going to do when you finish school, have a browse through the video interviews created by our Stambassadors. Our Stambassadors are adults who stammer who share their insights and experiences of following their own career path. 

They have first-hand experience of what it’s like to be in your shoes. They’ve joined ASC to share their stories to help inspire and encourage young people who stammer to follow their dream career, too.

Connect with other young people

If you’re interested in meeting other young people who stammer, or in becoming involved with the work of Action for Stammering Children, you're in the right place! From group stammering courses, to becoming a member of our Youth Panel, there’s plenty of ways to get involved and meet new peers.
