Today we recognise and support over 70 million people worldwide who stutter. Stuttering is a communication difference that can include involuntary repetitions, prolongations, and blocks โ and often brings physical effort, anxiety and social barriers. This yearโs theme, โA Diverse Stuttering Community โ Meeting Challenges With Strengths,โ highlights the many ways people who stutter use resilience, creativity and community to communicate and belong.
