About Us

The EXPERIENCE

The lead educator and facilitator, Honour Barbara, has been a stutterer/stammer for twenty-six (26) years. After a progressive six-year speech therapy and hard-work, has overcome and on the path of fluency .

This experience brought enough hope which caused her to undergo training as a speech therapist, and birthed the Honour-Barbara Centre for Speech and Language Therapy : an organization for the speech impaired (pws), the autistic, persons with Speech Language Communication Needs (SLCN) and persons with Special Education Needs in general.

Having acquired postgraduate training with international Centres including the Tizard Centre, Royal Centre, LSHTS, University of Cambridge, East Anglia (UEA) and HUK College of Communication Sciences & Disorders, she is a Speech and Language Therapist with specialty in Speech Difficulties and Fluency (SDF), Autism and Dysphagia, and has devoted her life to ensuring that determined speech impaired persons will be helped to overcome speech stress (stuttering), and the autistic supported to live the best life.

She considers one's inability to speak naturally as a dream killer, a demoralizer of hope and self-esteem.
She is willing and ready to impact the 'know-how' to others who are determined to overcome speech stress/difficulties and live 'fulfilling' lives, contributing better to society and the world at large.

With Honour Barbara, 'Speaking is Life...Speech is Ultimate!'

About Us

How We Help

It Starts With the Will to Make a Difference!

Since our inception, we’ve worked around the clock to expand our causes and to help those who need our services.

What WE DO
The speech impaired is the category of persons in our society who are challenged in speech and have difficulties in bringing out words, likewise autistic persons who are socially and behaviorally impaired. We may have experienced them in one way or the other in the course of life and you may agree with me that this condition is appalling and depleting even to the health of these persons with such conditions.

This thus hails appreciation at the efforts of the Honour-Barbara Centre, whose object focuses mainly on overcoming speech stress among people with SLCN needs (speech impaired persons), placing them on the path towards fluency, and offering supportive services to autistic persons along with advocating and creating the awareness that these persons in society need to be helped and their concerns met.

The speech impaired, including the autistic is one category of persons who need fun most; as they interact with people of different/similar backgrounds, involve in fun-creation activities and are amused, they laugh much, and in the process are healed from within.

This is why activities such as horse riding, health walks along singing, swimming, stutterers’ TV show discussions & awards, excursions, tours among others, are of great essence to the speech impaired on the path to overcoming speaking stress (stuttering/stammering).

Through its myriad techniques toward impacting, the Centre mostly uses the JCILFA and PTYBI to overcome speech stress among the speech impaired and restore fluency. The duration of the therapy/training programme is 7 to 14 weeks.

The activities combined with the therapy and screening, are grossly cost involving, thus, it is prudent accordingly, on our part to draw close to socially responsible persons like you and your organization, so to be supported financially as you become members and partners to our Cause.

Our IMPACTING PROJECTS

1. The Stutterers' Clinic & Tv Show

The project focuses mainly on speech-impaired persons and persons with special education needs at all levels, placing them on the path towards fluency, along with advocating and creating the awareness that speech impaired persons in society need to be helped and their concerns met.

2. The Autistic 'Wonder-World'

The project focuses mainly on people on the autism spectrum together with their guardian. Through assessment and diagnoses, treatment is administered medically or therapeutically.

Guardians are educated on ‘How’ to create the appropriate environment for their wards to foster right relations with their environment. The autistic are directed on 'How' to excel in their strengths and 'How' to further channel their strengths to create interest in their weaknesses.

3. At 13 Project

The project focuses on nurturing the potentials of people with disability (PWD), autistic and speech-impaired persons, especially teens and young adults.

4. The Stutterers Healthcare Walk

The project raises funds to focus on providing the health needs of both speech-impaired and autistic persons who have signed up with the Stutterers' Clinic & Autistic 'Wonder-World' amidst healthy living lifestyles (keep fit session, health walk, screening and medication).
