Speech and language therapists strive to offer an individualised service based on clinical need and to avoid limiting stereotyping. But, given that speech and language therapists are mainly female and their clients are mainly male, editor Avril Nicoll asks if understanding more about why and how male communication may be different could help us engage boys and men in more meaningful and effective therapy. Community health worker Ed Garrett is interviewed and the author draws heavily on a conference presentation by Brid Featherstone and books by Adam Cox and Jon Pickering.
