International Stuttering Awareness Day

International Stuttering Awareness Day, on October 22, is a special day to help people understand what stuttering is. Stuttering is when someone finds it hard to speak smoothly, and they might repeat or get stuck on words. This day helps us learn that stuttering is okay and that people who stutter are just like everyone else. It encourages us to be kind and patient when talking to someone who stutters. By learning about stuttering, we can support our friends and others who might find speaking tricky, making everyone feel included and understood.
