StutterStrong

Today StutterTalk published a “Position Statement on Self-Help and Speech Therapy for People Who Stutter.” Read the statement here or View PDF Version.

A lot of collaboration, stuttering love and experience went into our first position statement. We are very proud to share this with you.

We are also excited to share that StutterTalk developed an image for this project we are calling StutterStrong. The StutterStrong image is based on the Egyptian symbol for stuttering. But instead of a single speaker being blocked by walls, our StutterStrong image features two people, working together, knocking down those stuttering walls. Very special thanks to graphic designer and fellow stutterer Jordon Smith for bringing this idea to life.

Be sure and and check back on January 22 for the next StutterTalk episode.
