😳 *WHY?* ❓❓
*Why is International Stuttering Awareness Day observed on 22 October?*
International Stuttering (Stammering) Awareness Day is observed every year on 22 October. It was first held in the UK and Ireland in 1998 to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by people who stutter — about 1% of the world’s population. Stuttering disrupts the flow of speech through repeated or prolonged sounds and blocks; understanding, patience and speech therapy help people who stutter communicate with confidence.

Stuttering is a speech disorder where the flow of speech is broken by repeating sounds, syllables, or words, dragging out sounds, or experiencing silent pauses called blocks.
