International Stuttering Awareness Day

Stuttering is a communication disorder. It is the abnormal stoppages and breaks in the flow of speech. It sometimes also involves movements while speaking. International Stuttering Day is observed to raise awareness about its symptoms, causes, and cures. First one is that people stutter because of nervousness, this is not so. In fact, we should wait for them to complete their sentences rather than cutting them in between. Secondly, shyness is not always the cause of stuttering. Sometimes it is the lack of confidence in oneself and the fear of being judged. To reduce this we need to encourage people and show trust in them to make them feel better. There is also a myth that the people who stutter have a lack of intelligence. Stuttering is caused due to one specific area of the brain and it does not have any effect on the intelligence level of the person.

History

The international stuttering day was established in the year 1958. The day is recognized to spread awareness to people around the world about this communication disorder. Stuttering is a neurological disorder that was found back since when life was found on earth. About 1% of a million people have stammering issues while they converse.
