This past week of May 11-17, 2015, we celebrated National Stuttering Awareness Week–a time to educate and bring awareness about stuttering or speech disorders.  According to the National Stuttering Organization (NSA), in 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation establishing the second week in May as “National Stuttering Awareness Week.”  The NSA is the first organization to encourage people who stutter to speak out — fluently or not.

At Special Chronicles, we’d like to highlight a few podcasts and articles where you can learn more, from an insider’s perspective, on stuttering.

Check out the hashtag #Stuttering on stg-specialchronicles-staging.kinsta.cloud to listen to podcasts or read articles produced on Special Chronicles1

Readers can learn more about the National Stuttering Association, or NSA, at westutter.org
