International Stuttering Awareness Day: 22 October

International Stuttering Awareness Day

International Stuttering Awareness Day is observed every year on October 22 to raise awareness about stuttering and support people who experience it. The day aims to educate society about the challenges faced by individuals with speech disorders and to promote empathy, inclusion, and confidence. Stuttering does not define a person’s intelligence or abilities—it is simply a variation in speech. On this day, various campaigns, workshops, and awareness programs are organized worldwide to encourage open conversation and end stigma. The message is clear: everyone deserves to be heard—fluently or not.
