Depending on the severity of the stutter, it is considered a disability in the US. The ADA broadened its criteria around 2009 for what they cover. However even before 2009 you were generally allowed to get a 504/IEP in school for stuttering. I had one and it helped immensely. The important thing is to follow the criteria the ADA outlines. Does it substantially limit one or more major life activity? Do you have a record of it? Would others say youre a stutterer? Unlike some other disabilities, stuttering can vary greatly in how severe and life-altering it is which not only makes it difficult to judge, but affects public opinion as well. One of the best things I ever did was get it in writing from my doctor that I have a severe stutter. It’s helped me remove my requirement for jury duty, get a national parks pass, and hopefully I won’t need it for work but if something were to happen it’s documented. I’ve never had an issue asking for accommodations at work, however. Self-advocacy is important. Even my sister who is fully blind with muscular deformities has had to fight tooth and nail for her disability rights. The system is a nightmare, but you can do it. Other people might not think it’s a disability, we all know the classic “i have a brother who stutters when hes nervous so just relax”, but they’re incorrect on a few levels.
