I was very pleased to be invited to contribute a chapter on Stammering to @RiyaEGeorge and Michelle O'Reilly's book, 'A Guide To Managing Atypical Communication in Healthcare' - @routledgebooks@qmul_ihse - thank you for sending me my copy!
❤️💪 Watford's Ken Sema has battled with a stutter all his life, but bravely came out to do the post-match interview last night.
He scored twice in Watford's win over West Brom, including the winner.
Sema's speech will empower people with a stutter. [📹 @WatfordFC]
This #isad2022@stammer is calling for the #RightToStutter and stammering is accepted, people who stammer are represented and that equal access is given ie in oral exams, buying goods +services, ringing for a GP appointment...

Several months ago @ByJamesRobinson asked me to describe the experience of stuttering for a short @nytimes documentary. This is what I said.....(1/3) https://t.co/hdTlqwW0u4
I wrote an article for @stammer about one of the weirdest heckles I've ever received.
Of all the weird crowd interactions I've had on account of my stammer, this was the one I least expected.

Today is International Stammering Awareness Day #ISAD2021. I ordered a Mocha today. I didn’t change my order, pick up a drink instead or avoid the situation. People who stammer do this to avoid being seen to stammer. I stammered. That's okay, it’s how I speak. Check out @stammer!
