Want to know more?! Today is International Stuttering Awareness Day! The perfect day to advocate for stutterers across the globe. Many people may not realize roughly 3 million Americans stutter, beginning around the age of two and possibly lasting a lifetime. There is currently no one cause of stuttering, nor is there a cure. A person who stutters could benefit from our help as a speech language pathologist, as we can offer strategies to try and improve the condition or help get them to a place of comfort during conversational speech. Just remember, advocating for a cause goes a long way. For more information on this topic, please click the ASHA link attached - asha.org/stuttering/.
Thank you Sophia Vaughn of Fontbonne University for this information.
