October 22 is International Stuttering Awareness Day, and it's commemorated worldwide to raise public awareness.
International Stuttering awareness day is acknowledged by the European League of Stuttering Associations, the International Stuttering Association, and the International Fluency Association.
International Stuttering Awareness Day began in 1998. This day helps our community comprehend this communication impairment. 1% of the world's population suffers from stuttering.
International Stuttering Awareness Day was started by Michael Sugarman.
Hippocrates described symptoms akin to stammering in the early fifth century BC. They argued that it is the cause of speech disorders that is deep within the human brain. International Stuttering Awareness Day draws attention to many families suffering from communication disorders all around the world. When we hear someone stammer, we imagine them repeating a certain word while speaking. Other causes of stuttering include syllable or vowel prolongation.
Stuttering is a speech disorder, for which we encourage people to speak openly about. Last year, the International Stutters Association hosted an online conference from October 19 to October 22.
On this day, people usually show a variety of speeches and talks from different personalities, which are centered on various speech impairments. These speeches help to examine and understand more about stuttering when speaking and living with the discrimination of others.
Parents, friends, or a family members regularly watch films or attend events with their children that highlight how a person with a stutter can overcome challenges, giving people who suffer from stuttering the confidence to speak.
International Stuttering Awareness Day can be observed in various ways. You can learn about a famous voice or listen to a person's speech who has struggled with stuttering and how much effort they have put in to overcome their stutter. Depending on the circumstances you may even be able to invite them to a virtual meeting or attend on online conference to hear from other people who experience stuttering. And if you want to watch a movie, the Academy award-winning film 'The King's Speech' is about King George IV of England and his speech therapy.
Stuttering is a communication disorder, and even today it's difficult to establish why some people stutter and others don't. This day helps to create an understanding of stuttering and provides the chance for people to connect and support their friends and family with this communication disorder.
The reason to recognize International Stuttering Awareness Day is to raise awareness among the public to respect the people who stutter rather than discriminate against them. Rather than bullying them which affects their mental health, this day provides a chance for people to learn more about stuttering and how to support anyone, either a child or adults, who suffers from stuttering.
The concept of International Stuttering Awareness Day started in the year 1998, which was led by Michale Sugarman, in Oakland, California.
