For more than thirty years, the second week of May has been a special time for the stuttering community. It is Stuttering Awareness Week, designated by members of the National Stuttering Association and made official by Ronald Reagan in 1988. It is to encourage people who stutter to talk to others about their stuttering. To learn more about it, read this item by Stuttering is Cool creator Daniele Rossi.
