About National Stuttering Awareness Week
Health , United States
Ends: May 18, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
National Stuttering Awareness Week in the United States builds awareness of stuttering. More than 70 million people worldwide and three million in the United States struggle with stuttering daily.
"This week is a time for us to remind the world that people who stutter can achieve amazing things," said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation. "Unfortunately, we still live in a world that allows stuttering to be mocked and ridiculed. The end result is that countless children who stutter face teasing and torment at school just because they speak differently."
Despite the great strides afforded the stuttering community by the movie "The King's Speech" and its accurate and moving portrayal of the effects of a severe stutter, Hollywood portrayed people who stutter in a negative light for decades, as deranged, violent, or otherwise incompatible with the social norm. Some of these movies over the years have been Dead Again, My Cousin Vinny, Urban Legend, and Primal Fear. One of the lead characters in the original mini-series of Stephen King's "It" also struggles with a stutter.
