International Stuttering Awareness Day (Oct 22) raises awareness for the 70 million people worldwide who stutter. Stuttering is a natural speech difference, not a sign of low intelligence or nervousness. Every voice deserves respect and inclusion.

is a disability. It's also a neurological condition. Our funny little brains work a little differently in a way that impacts our speech. We who stutter do best when we embrace our community and build connections with each other.
