Ok I didn't know if your team coach description was a side gig or something. Wasn't explicit. The other commenters had good ideas. Maybe he needs accommodation. Like a separate calling area? Cross...

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately as it stands, yes. For some reason they’re really pushing the call thing this financial year. We have call policies where certain situations are an immediate ...

Does he *have* to take calls? Employers should meet the needs of employees with disabilities so I’d start simply by asking if he *wants* to take calls or just do his job purely via text communication ...

I’ll second this. Its a pretty safe bet that they wouldn’t want to do the speaking, but you never know...

Ya I'd say that's the right approach. Generally the more people try to "do" or "help" the more awkward it is. We just want to be treated like anyone else, no better or worse, but appreciate when peopl...

If I joined a new job and someone pulled me aside to let them know they "can be comfortable around me and let them know if I need anything" I might be a bit weirded out. I'd recommend a more casual wa...

first of all, the fact that you care about that person's mental comfort means a lot to them, very very nice of you. remember not to treat people with stutter like they are disabled, at least from m...

I disagree completely. I would have appreciated being given that option in school. What it comes down to is personal preference though - it may make one person feel infantilized, and another may appre...

I understand you have good intentions, but you infantilize him and reinforce the notion that people who stutter don't belong in speaking roles. Look, I get it; this is my life (I have been told this m...

I don’t want to tell him his place, I want to make it clear he has an option and no pressure to present if he doesn’t want to....

I’d pull them to the side and let them know they can be comfortable around you and if they need any help with anything just let you know :)...

I wouldn't phrase it that way. I'd ask what part they're interested in. You can list out all the duties that need to be done for clarity of options....

> Would this be inconsiderate? Yes. The burden is on the grader to adjust accordingly. It is not your place to tell him his place....

Hello! It is great that you are trying to accommodate this person. Take the initiative and have a private conversation. Ask the question in a casual way, “Hey so I noticed you stutter, the group tot...

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing disrespect from others because of your stutter. It's important to remember that your stutter does not define you as a person and that everyone has their own...

I would definitely reach out to your professor(s) about it. Most colleges have a disability program (and yes, stutters are typically included in that) so I would see if they can accommodate for you. ...

Speaking is both overrated and under appreciated. It shouldn’t be the only way to get words across to someone. There are all sorts of other options like you said with writing. There’s also text to spe...

What does it have to do with ethics? You think no one should try to improve their situation because it would be unethical with respect to those who can't?...

How the fuck is this an ethics question you want us to remain like this forever????? Pretty much everyone tries to/wants to outgrow it...

If you can infact "outgrow" a handicap that greatly affects how you can effectively communicate then why not do it?..if I had that chance I could care less about ethics to say the least lol...
