LEWISHAM AND GREENWICH: Psychology lecturer receives New Year Honour

A PSYCHOLOGY lecturer researching stammering in children has been recognised in the New Year Honours list.

The 60-year-old is campaigning to raise awareness of children who suffer from the condition.
He said: “I was surprised and obviously absolutely delighted to receive this honour.
“Stammering absolutely destroys people’s lives and I’m pleased there is this opportunity to raise the profile of stammering and the need for more funding from the Government.”
