I think its hard to define as a disability because it effects everyone in a slightly different way. I have days where I can speak, not great but understandable. Then I have days where I cannot speak a...

Stuttering is similar to poor vision or poor hearing in that they have prostheics which greatly alleviate the difficulty. If one does not see well they usually use eyeglasses and the condition improv...

The very first thing to know is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You have a neurological condition that causes you to stutter. Almost one percent of the population has the same condi...

In China, that recognition is letting loose PWS's mental stresses judging themselve as normal or not normal not only in their own shoes but also in the whole society's shoe. The society can't understa...

I'm also expecting China Disabled Persons’ Federation to legitimate stutter to be a disability and they can offer reasonable accommodations and settings for PWS. Stutter is not induced from PWS's timi...

I don't think writing off stutter as a disability is a humiliation cuz it's just a matter of fact. Stutter is led by brain dysfunctions and not psychological disorders or bad habits, which is to say, ...

Or social understandings and supports. I'm just hoping this measure is taken out to arise the awarenesses of stutter eventually being a neurological disorder instead of psychological disabilities so t...

I always say that stuttering is a disability but I don't necessarily feel disabled....

Don't ignore it. Definitely don't "correct". Make him feel safe and comfortable. Go see a speech therapy who actually understands stuttering. Don't go to one's that peddle cures. Stuttering is ok, it'...

As soon as you learn it’s not ok or that’s it’s incorrect then you try harder to fix the “problem” which in turn causes more stuttering. Treat like an accent. Some people just repeat words....

Completely agree. I never thought I'd be able to deliver a best man speech, until I did. And that's how I define the difference between a disability and something that's debilitating....

I don't have severe stutter but I do from time to time and do my best to speak without stuttering a lot. I didn't know it was considered a disability until I read this post. Probably because I have ne...

When I worked in the civil service in the UK my stammer was quite severe. I applied for a job within the second and said I had a disability which got me a guaranteed interview (I got the job). I thi...

As I've grown older, I tend to think of my speech/stuttering as more of a disability. It makes me feel better, like this is something bigger than me, that has been outside of my control. I still work ...

Social Security classifies stuttering as a disability to collect SSI money. So technically we are disabled by definition. If you can't talk, you can't work. Some people have it worse than others and w...

As someone with a stutter, I would say no. Putting something into their brain, that something is 'wrong' with their speech will only make it worse. 3 is very young.... most children stumble over words...

Not a fan of labeling it a disability. I'm a 30 M, who had very bad stuttering as a child to slightly moderate as an adult. I hate to say it, but I think labeling it a disability is ultimately defeati...

In all fairness I guess it depends on how bad your stammer is, if it’s minor I personally wouldn’t class it as a disability but if it’s severe then I would...

Some PWS are reluctant to accept stutter as a disability, let alone non-stutterers. They are still thinking stutter is just a bad habit or psychological disorder although we can't convict them for hav...

To me, to be disabled is to need help or accommodations to perform tasks. I don't need help. If anything, just time to express my thoughts. My speech does not limit my ability to do my research or t...
