October 22: Stuttering Awareness Day

International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD) is observed worldwide every October 22. Established in 1998, the day is organized by the International Stuttering Association, International Fluency Association, and European League of Stuttering Associations. It aims to educate the public about stuttering, a speech disorder characterized by involuntary repetitions of sounds or syllables, prolongations of sounds, and pauses before speech. Stuttering can significantly affect individuals' emotional well-being, leading to stress, social anxiety, and isolation, with approximately 1% of the global population affected. On this day, various events are held globally, including online conferences, public awareness campaigns, and educational activities to inform people about the disorder and its treatment methods.
