SLT working in community paediatrics ✨ Interested in all things stammering!

Stammering is a difference in the way people speak

At least 1% of adults stammer

Around 8% of children - 1 in every 12 - start to stammer at some point

People who stammer are still great communicators 🙌🏻

It's okay to stammer 👍🏻

Really disappointing to see that Keir Starmer was mocked today for stumbling over a word - an experience that happens to all of us. We need civil and constructive debate. We need an #InclusiveParliament. Help us call for change & sign @stammer's petition:

Stammering Awareness: There are 2 elements of stammering - overt (outward) & covert (inward). It's important to remember that everyone can have different types of thoughts & feelings about stammering & everyone manages their stammer differently. #ISAD23 #MySLTDay @southernHSCT
