International Stammering Awareness Day: 22nd October

International Stammering Awareness Day (ISAD) happens on 22nd October every year. Stammering associations, individuals and groups around the world organise events to mark the day and to raise awareness of stuttering.

Some ideas for ISAD

time2talk music CD-Listen to/buy the time2talk music CD, by children, young people and adults who stammer.
ISAD online conference 2007-Visit the ISAD online conference.
-Join the BSA telephone link scheme or an email list (E-friends or other internet lists).
-Ask the
BSA office for some helpline posters and put them in your local libraries, community centres or GPs surgeries.
-Introduce yourself as a person who stammers, for example when making telephone calls.
-Request a BSA collection box to put in a local shop (see right).
-Give a talk on stammering - see Powerpoint presentation.

ISAD online conference

ISAD 2007 logo: Stuttering Awareness: Global community, Local activityThis is a once-a-year opportunity to read a wide range of articles from across the world, and to send questions to the authors.

The conference is freely available, linked from the top of www.stutteringhomepage.com. It closed to new contributions on 22nd October but is still available to read online.

There are papers from consumers (people who stutter) and professionals from around the world. From October 1-22 there was opportunity to ask questions and make comments to the authors on easy to use threaded discussions attached to each paper, and a section called The Professor Is In where people could ask questions about stuttering to several professors.

The threaded discussions closed on 22nd October 2007, but the conference papers and previous discussions remain online. Conferences from 2006 and previous years can also still be viewed at www.stutteringhomepage.com.
