Every year on October 22 International Stuttering Awareness Day is celebrated. Since 1998 the International Stuttering Association (ISA) brings attention to people who live with a stutter. Often thrown away by the public as an annoyance and fixable, stuttering is a communication disorder with no cure.
On International Stuttering Awareness Day the ISA works with media outlets to hold online conferences on the disorder. Because the main event of the day is an online conference, people can participate and educate themselves from the comfort of their homes.
