Wow...if that was written down via email, I'm sure you could pursue an ADA case if you wanted to. It's a pretty cut-and-dried discrimination case right there....

I feel this. It didn't even dawn on me to consider my stutter a disability until I started joining stuttering communities two or three years ago. I always thought of it as, like, bad acne or a big nos...

the amount of times i’ve had people try to police me on calling myself disabled as if it’s any of their business,, should send them this honestly...

I still don't know why Stuttering isn't regarded as a disability or at least learning disability like dyslexia is. At least where I am....

Other accommodation options include written forms of communication instead of oral whenever possible (such as IMs and emails instead of phone calls). I use these textual methods during work as much as...

A disability is an impairment that significantly impacts a major life activity. The ADA includes “speaking” and “communication” as a major life activities. So, if the stutter significantly affects one...

Thank you so much for trying to complete the survey! The survey is programmed to end if you are not familiar with self-disclosure (the act of telling another person that you stutter), so that's why it...

It was considered self promotion. I wasnt trying to promote my YouTube channel, Just trying to share that even as a successful performer & speaker, I still struggle with stuttering on my new ch...

Wait this might be a super stupid question and I'm just being dense, but why is it against the rules to post vids of yourself stuttering...

I had chronic neuroinflammation, including up around C1 (the part of the neck that joins the skull) for years, I also stuttered, for years. I fell, damaged up by C1 - spinal cord lesion up there, ver...

I reeeeeally think bringing this up to your school administration is a good idea. You can't help stuttering. It's not fair to be given lower marks for it. If someone had a bad lisp, would the teacher ...

Ask your teacher, they will most likely understand. If you ever get a low mark for stuttering in your speech, report them for being ableist :D...

I second asking the teacher in private. But also don't worry about failing, they can't sick you points because you have a speech impediment. If the substance of the speech is good, you'll still have a...

I often think about my days in school and wonder why I didn’t just go to the teacher privately or write a note explaining my stutter and that public speaking actually makes it worse and that because i...

Depends on whether you need it for something, I guess. Like, if your (part of the) country has laws that will benefit you in some way?...

It prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. My understanding is that wording is a bit vague, so I'm not suggesting to pull it out for special benefits. It's just a way of making peop...

Hm my sister said, that if I got the paper, on the paper would be written on how to treat me and give me more time etc. But usually I just always go to the teacher and say that I stutter and they unde...

So what type of benefits or whatever if any does the disabilities act give to people who stutter?...

Thank you. Yeah my sister wanted me to get some papers where it would be stated officially.. I guess.. That I have a stutter and teachers would have to give some extra time etc.. But at this point I d...

This was heartbreaking to read. Hang in there. You should talk to your teacher. Stuttering is a disability. In the US, it is recognized under the disabilities act. Do not shame yourself for it getting...
