THE
STUTTERING FOUNDATION
® PUBLICATION NO. 0012
Malcolm Fraser knew from personal experience what the person who stutters is up against, having struggled with stuttering since early childhood.
He first received therapy at age fifteen with Frederick Martin, M.D., Superintendent of Speech Correction for the New York City schools.
A few years later, he worked with J. Stanley Smith, L.L.D., a philanthropist who stuttered who founded the Kingsley Clubs in Philadelphia and New York. These support groups were named after the English author, Charles Kingsley, who also stuttered. Fraser often led the discussions at both clubs.
In 1928, he joined his older brother Carlyle who founded the NAPA-Genuine Parts Company that year in Atlanta, Georgia. Malcolm Fraser became an important leader in the company and was particularly outstanding in training others for leadership roles.
In 1947, with a successful career under way, he founded the Stuttering Foundation of America. In subsequent years, he added generously to the endowment so that at the present time, endowment income covers much of the operating budget.
In 1984, Malcolm Fraser received the fourth annual National Council on Communicative Disorders’ Distinguished Service Award. The NCCD, a council of 32 national organizations, recognized the Foundation’s efforts in “adding to stutterers’, parents’, clinicians’, and the public’s awareness and ability to deal constructively with stuttering.”
In 1989, Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, presented Fraser with the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters for his outstanding work on behalf of those who stutter.
Malcolm Fraser was honored posthumously with the Charles Van Riper Award, presented by actor James Earl Jones at the 16th annual NCCD Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C. Established by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in 1995, the Van Riper Award was given to Fraser for “his outstanding commitment to people who stutter.”
