Glasgow Teacher Helps People Overcome Stammers

That the Parliament congratulates Adam Black, who is from Glasgow, on reports that, after overcoming a stammer, he has fulfilled his dream of becoming a teacher and on being nominated for a national diversity award; understands that Adam, who teaches at Shawlands Primary School, had given up all hope of entering the profession until he enrolled in the McGuire Programme, which gave him the confidence to train as a primary teacher; notes that he now teaches the McGuire Programme technique to others, and believes that, with around 1% of people having a stammer, such a service is welcome.
