There were 12 new students, 4 females and 8 males. Around five of them were overts. They had a lot of variety in their “stammering behaviour” and the ages ranged from 16 until 62 which made things that much interesting. All of the NS decided to stay in the programme. In total over 100 graduates attended the course.

Extra’s on this course:

The course was held in a beautiful hotel in de centre of Almere (in the middle of the Netherlands). We had 13 NS (8 coverts and 5 overts). They were accompanied by about 95 grads and coaches for almost 4 days to work hard to learn how to control their stammers and deal with the part under the big iceberg.
