To mark International Stammering Awareness Day, which took place on 22 October 2021, Nick Fischer shares his thoughts and experiences on life as a person who stammers. Nick is a member of the IP Ability committee and the piece was originally published on the IP Inclusive website.

One of the network’s co-founders, Nick Fischer, featured as a guest on the StutterTalk podcast a few weeks ago. The episode is entitled “Is it healthy to work on your stammering all of the time?”, and involved a discussion of whether “hard work” is always a positive thing in speech work, along with a bit about STAMMA Legal, and how the network came about.

On 24 September 2021, the Lawyers with Disabilities Division of the Law Society published a document entitled “Reasonable adjustments in organisations – guidance for best practice”. The guidance includes real examples from many firms and organisations, and STAMMA Legal provided some stammering-specific examples.
