How did you celebrate International Stuttering Awareness Day?
October 22 is International Stuttering Awareness Day. This is a great opportunity to focus public attention on a complex disorder that touches 70 million people around the world and more than 3 million in the U.S. alone. The Stuttering Foundation suggests the following activities to celebrate:
1. Watch a New Video: Our website features many informative videos for kids and adults.
2. Design a T-Shirt: We sell out of our T-Shirts regularly. Help us create a new design! Submit your ideas to
info@stutteringhelp.org.
3. Sign Up for Social Media: Visit us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. Engage with thousands of others on topics around stuttering and fluency.
4. Find a Referral: Wonder where to turn for help? The Stuttering Foundation offers referrals to therapists in the U.S. and around the world.
5. Share Your Child’s Art: Any child wishing to share their artwork with us can do so by sending it to
info@stutteringhelp.org. Please include name, age, city and a permission letter from a parent.
6. Learn about a Famous Person Who Stutters: Learning about famous people who stutter helps us to understand we are not alone in our struggles with fluency.
7. Get Information: Visit your local public library and ask if they have resource materials on stuttering from the Stuttering Foundation.
8. Sign up for our Newsletter: If you wish to receive a copy of the latest Stuttering Foundation magazine, please send your mailing address to info@

9. Read a Book: The Foundation offers several books on stuttering for free in E-book format (many have been translated into other languages.)
