Stuttering Awareness Day
International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD) is observed annually on October 22 to raise awareness and educate people about stuttering, a speech disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide. The day serves as an opportunity to support those who stutter, break down misconceptions, and promote understanding and empathy. ISAD highlights the importance of early intervention, research, and speech therapy while advocating for the rights and inclusion of individuals who stutter in all aspects of society. Events, campaigns, and discussions are held globally to foster a more inclusive environment where those affected by stuttering can communicate with confidence.
