It’s International Stuttering Awareness Day! 💚 My Waterloo, ON SLP practice, Communicating Together, has 3 blog articles with videos on supporting children and teens who stutter.
Find the links here: communicatingtogether.ca/blog-home/

Text overlay on a sea green background, the official colour of stuttering awareness. The text reads: "INTERNATIONAL STUTTERING AWARENESS DAY. LISTEN TO LIVED EXPERIENCE." The logo for Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates is visible below, along with the location "Waterloo, ON." Logo Description: The official logo features two hands gently forming a heart, symbolizing empathy, support, and connection. Inside the heart are four smaller hearts in blue, green, orange, and pink, representing the diverse individuals and families served. Framed by bold purple banners, the top displays the clinic’s name, and the bottom carries the guiding message: “Care Meets Possibilities.” This visual identity embodies the clinic's commitment to inclusive, strengths-based speech-language therapy.

It’s International Stuttering Awareness Day! 💚 Canadian landmarks (CN Tower, Niagara Falls, etc.) shine sea green tonight to foster understanding and support.

Listen to those with lived experience (like the "Breaking the Ice Podcast"!). We all build empathy by listening.

Thank you so kindly for sharing this. I watched the trailer and look forward to watching the documentary. I love that it highlights the lived experiences of individuals with selective mutism. Listening to those with lived experience helps build compassion and guide better ways to support others.

🫣 Sometimes what looks like “bad behaviour” is really a child struggling to communicate.
Pause before judging.

That is wonderful! Thank you so kindly for offering me the opportunity to suggest a theme I might like you to discuss on one of your future episodes. I will let you know if I think of any potential topics. Thanks again and take care.

So great – thank you again for raising awareness for people who stammer. I look forward to listening to more episodes of your Breaking the Ice Podcast. Take care and have a great weekend!

I’m so glad you’re sharing your experiences with stuttering. You’re helping others feel less alone and also educating people so those who stutter can be better supported and feel safer sharing openly. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing—your lived experience is so valuable! I started listening to your Breaking the Ice podcast and just finished S1E1—planning to share it with families and fellow SLPs. Your voice and visibility are powerful.
