HUDDERSFIELD stammerers are being invited to learn new fluency techniques.

Stammerer Stephen Hill, 31, of Birmingham, will hold a free open day in Huddersfield on March 12 to teach sufferers the key to fluency techniques.

Mr Hill, who claims he cured himself after years of unsuccessful speech therapy, will demonstrate elements of his one-to-one tuition sessions.

He said: "Approximately one in 100 people has a stammer or stutter, usually men.

"It can literally ruin a person's life because it stops them from reaching their potential at work and restricts their social life - not to mention the ridicule some stammerers suffer at the hands of unfeeling people.

"The fluency techniques I used are eminently transferrable to others and the stammerers I have worked with have left the course a totally different person."

The free demonstration day is open to stammerers and their families. Anyone interested in taking part is asked to contact him on 0121 453 9208 or 07967 549070.
