I've thought about doing that too but I sometimes wonder if that itself would make the recruiter uncomfortable. Plus would they see that as a weakness and say " well you can't use a text to voice comm...

Absolutely no sense in putting yourself through this pain. Life’s too short to jump on a visible grenade. I was given a speaking exam in college. I told the professor and he said he didn’t care and ...

Stuttering is a 100% a disability. The fact that you can hide it sometimes is no different than a person with limited use of their legs is able to hide it by sitting down and not walking. With that s...

If you think your stutter holds you back then you can ask for extra support.. it is technically a communication disability. But if you think you can get by without mentioning it, then you can do that ...

Uhm it's not anyones fault for being born with a speech disorder. It's not something you just "work on and fix". There are periods when you do work and make progress for a certain period of time, but ...

Having a stutter is a medical disability and I can't understand why we are not taken like that from childhood. I CAN'T do a speech in front of whole class, do presentations, reading outloud. I will tr...

Thankyou. Why I think in that way is because I could have produced a medical certificate in that English speaking test and I would have gotten some extra time to speak (though this procedure also take...

I didn't know it was classed as a disability here in the UK, so I can claim disability allowance if I needed to?...

I’m 22 and did my driving test at 18. Most of the things that I did was physical testing like driving and also paper tests. Just let them know ahead of time that you stutter and it will help ease the ...

In this day and age, just identify yourself as being disabled. I dare anyone to challenge you! People should walk a day in our shoes…...

In the United States a disability is defined as something that interferes with a major life activity. That’s a loose definition and some things are more “obvious” than others. Several courts have inte...
