SCIENCE ON SCREEN® – THE KING’S SPEECH with Guest Speaker JOHN GOMEZ

England’s Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with confidence.

Prior to the film, speech pathologist John Gomez will give a presentation entitled
“Discussing the Science and Humanity of Stuttering.”
