It's the 25th anniversary of my stammeringlaw website, on how the #equalityact applies to #stammering. I've done a brief page on developments since the 20th anniversary https://t.co/Dy8XMYrrDq #disabilitydiscrimination #stammer #stutter

A play like NYE, which showcases a man who is remembered as one of the most iconic and emblematic figures in Welsh and British history, as someone who stammered throughout his life, is crucial today, in a political environment that denigrates disfluency:

I want to give a shout out to @leonrestaurants Kings X around service for people who stammer. Just ordered with some speech difficulty and the person who served me was patient and caring. Not always the case at coffee shops. @stammer #stammer #stutter #itsOK2stammer

OED prefers 'dispatch', which was the uniform spelling until Johnson's dictionary.

Something to counter the spread of grey squirrels?

@HH23tt Thanks. Sorry, I don't know anywhere the County Court decision is available. I looked on the old Disability Rights Commission website but found only a summary https://t.co/hiDnSlsy3s

[Allan Tyrer @atyrer]

Really valuable document. I've updated my stammeringlaw website on it https://t.co/cDOCMgYF19

Automated telephone services can act as a barrier to people who communicate differently or with difficulty.

Access to them must be improved.

To mark #STAMMAFestGlobal2022 @RCSLT's new position statement sets out how accessibility can be improved ▶️ https://t.co/cB73YIPbBY

@STUC_UK One would have hoped the Abrahart decision in May would have dramatically increased awareness among universities of the need to consider adjustments to oral assessments https://t.co/2YVvcn1YaX

What great news to start the week! 👏

"Cafés Where Orders Take Time" takes over cafes for a day at a time, and hopes to promote a wider understanding of #stammering, while helping people who #stammer to achieve their goals. ☕

Tragic #EqualityAct case on suicide of a university student following oral assessments. Not directly on #stammering #stamma but very relevant to it. https://t.co/2YVvcn1YaX #DisabilityDiscrimination

[Allan Tyrer @atyrer]

Great article. I've also added something on stammeringlaw at https://t.co/O0H54IWBkj

'What does it say about us as a society that the phrase "Did I stutter?" is still prevalent in pop culture?'

Rare Employment Appeal Tribunal decision on #stammer #disabilitydiscrimination, including requirement to have a "clear voice". But the tribunal considered the claimant was not genuinely interested in the job anyway. https://t.co/p76sJTeYdo
