"It can be wrongly assumed, purely from the way someone with a #stammer speaks or from the secondary behaviours described above, that he or she is nervous, unintelligent, untruthful or deceitful."

Can you help a student from the University of Glasgow with her #stammering research? Magda is looking into whether or not people who stammer perceive rhythm differently to people who don't. Find out more at bit.ly/3uAx2dC

It can be extremely distressing and confusing for #Parents when your child starts to #stammer. The advice has changed dramatically in the last 40 years so share experiences and the latest approaches with others who understand. #parenting
We're very excited to launch a brand new online support group for parents, to meet and share experiences.
'Parent2Parent' has monthly online meetings starting in March, for parents living in the UK.

'Now I say to myself "He did it, so can I"
Uchechukwu's feelings about #stammering almost derailed his dreams of being a TV reporter. But finding a role model in TV star Steve Harvey, who stammers, encouraged him to work on himself. Read his story at bit.ly/3p3TfN5

'What I can see now is that I needed not to try to 'overcome' the stammer, but to learn to live with it...I had to treat the stammer and my lack of confidence as separate issues.'

Another fine fellow who has a stammer. How did I not know this about the ace Sam Neill? And yes it often runs in families. Remember in the UK @ascstammering offers lots of help, support and funds life changing therapy for children & young people up to early twenties.

Lovely to speak to @lesleymccabeFM on @BBCSurrey about the impact of having a POTUS who stammers - it's an exciting day where having a #stammer is no barrier to the highest office of the free world. So it’s not wrong to stammer - it’s the way we talk.

What if words got stuck in the back of your mouth whenever you tried to speak? Moving, powerful and uplifting, @jscottwrites and @Sydneydraws have stolen our hearts in I TALK LIKE A RIVER, a ground-breaking new picture book about finding the words to understand stammering ✨
