If someone gives you a low grade for stuttering during an otherwise well-written and structured presentation in almost anything but a "speech and debate" class .... I would file a complaint with the s...

He's 32... He has clearly just been a prick then. The key is to explain to him how it affects you, if that doesn't work throat punch him and ask him why he is taking so long to get a sentence out. ...

Giving IELTS exam with a stutter

Giving IELTS exam with a stutter Hey, so I'm currently doing my bachelor's and want to give IELTS for my Master's. I have a stutter and talking on a video call is more difficult for me than in person....

You just got to know your rights and the keywords. You could even use Chatgpt to find out the specific laws for your state/country and draft a pretty intimidating complaint....

I'm going to celebrate that I successfully argued against being forced to make phone calls at my job. Some dumbass senior staff was saying it was part of the job and I should quit if I don't want to m...

Unfortunately I took a speech pathology class in college and I asked to not present in front of the class and see if there is any other type of work I can do instead and my professor said it doesn’t m...

Is there any laws like this in india ? I'm in college and people think nothing is wrong with me even tho I stutter severely....

Ask him if he'd tell someone in a wheelchair to hurry up. Tell him that stutter is a disability. We wouldn't tell Jane in a wheelchair to hurry up. "Jane, you're taking forever to get on the bus and ...

Ok this sounds good for those stutterers who do not want to do presentations. But are there accommodations for other stutterers who DO want to do presentations but do not want to get low grade just fo...

Thank you! I feel the same towards anyone who's had to fight for their rights. It's life-changing that they're there, but lord I wish it wasn't needed....

It certainly can, unless it's literally a class about public speaking. The english teacher's job is to teach you Shakespeare. There's almost certainly no requirement that you *read Shakespeare aloud*...

An IEP does not “free you” from speaking activities, but it can help you not get penalized for your stutter....

Tell him it's a disability. I think because autism is more awareness, tell him it's a disability and you can't control it, just like autism...

I really wish something like this was pinned. It’s painful to see so many people go through life without the support they deserve. IEPs and 504s were the only things that got me and my sister through ...

Schools will always fight disability accommodations because it costs them time and money. I had a 504, basically a smaller IEP, and had to fight tooth and nail even for that. It got me speech therapy ...

I'm sorry. I had an IEP in high school, and got no accommodations, only speech therapy. I didn't have anything in college, but at least in college there was no reading out loud and very few presentati...

I never really looked. I just assumed they were right based on the list of disabilities listed on applications under the disclosures section. That's good to know then and something I probably should h...

Wow, that's complete BS. The ADA doesn't have a list of what is or is not a disability. It just has to be a condition that "substantially limits a major life activity". Clearly you can argue abou...

I was told every time I asked for accommodations in college that stutters aren't covered by the ADA. So just know that you'll probably be stonewalled if you ask but it's certainly worth trying. You ju...

You don't have to read out loud or give presentations in school.

You don't have to read out loud or give presentations in school. Stuttering is a disability. We may not like thinking of it that way, but it clearly is. As such, in the United States at least, public ...
