Aphasia is loss of language, not intellect, and it's so heartbreaking to see that no one understands what this is. I do believe that a person with aphasia could serve as a US senator. And it's only been a few months, it will get better. Nobody understands.

What are the predictive factors of stuttering persistence? If there are multiple risk factors present, does this increase the odds of a child developing persistent stuttering? (1/7)

When I type 'stammer' or 'stammering' into my iPhone, the woozy-face emoji🥴appears. Pls cld someone at @Apple tell me if this is calculated mockery, a stab at puerile humour or the act of a disgruntled ex-employee? I'm honestly curious. @stammer

“The idea that the president of the United States is also a person who stutters-I think that's really inspiring, and hopefully can make life easier for those who come after us” – SLP Chris Constantino @FSUCCI @FSU_COM @JoeBiden #slpeeps #slp2b on.asha.org/36Huikl

This short video featuring our infectious disease experts Dr. William Schaffner & Dr. Tom Talbot articulates the positive impact of wearing a mask & protecting others in our communities. Masks are fundamental in trying to control the spread of COVID-19. Please wear a mask.
Biden is about to give the biggest speech of his life. You may notice him stutter on certain words or sounds. You may feel uncomfortable as you watch. Many people who stutter go their whole lives and never step up to a microphone. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…
