Many thanks to @stammer for publishing this on my stammeringlaw website stamma.org/news/25-years-sta… #stammer #stutter
It's the 25th anniversary of my stammeringlaw website, on how the #equalityact applies to #stammering. I've done a brief page on developments since the 20th anniversary stammeringlaw.org.uk/25th-an… #disabilitydiscrimination #stammer #stutter

A play like NYE, which showcases a man who is remembered as one of the most iconic and emblematic figures in Welsh and British history, as someone who stammered throughout his life, is crucial today, in a political environment that denigrates disfluency:

Yesterday, as the Leader of the Opposition stumbled across a phrase, the Prime Minister made a jab about the moment of disfluency implying he is unfit to be a leader.
Such thoughtless mockery of disfluency in 2024: we need this to change, and now.

I want to give a shout out to @leonrestaurants Kings X around service for people who stammer. Just ordered with some speech difficulty and the person who served me was patient and caring. Not always the case at coffee shops. @stammer #stammer #stutter #itsOK2stammer
OED prefers 'dispatch', which was the uniform spelling until Johnson's dictionary.

Really valuable document. I've updated my stammeringlaw website on it stammeringlaw.org.uk/busines…
Automated telephone services can act as a barrier to people who communicate differently or with difficulty.
Access to them must be improved.
To mark #STAMMAFestGlobal2022 @RCSLT's new position statement sets out how accessibility can be improved ▶️ bit.ly/3wuDLIB

ALT Quote from Paul O'Meara, a person who stammers. “As a stammerer, when I use the telephone and am greeted with an automated service, I'm filled with dread and panic, and, minus the lack of any personal interaction, there is simply no way for me to navigate it. "All stammerers are different – some may have particular sounds or letters that are difficult to say, and that one word that's required could be the hardest thing for them to say. "So having the potential to reach a real person by physically pressing a key, rather than speaking the preferred option, is essential.”

Further to tweets over the weekend, the BDA have released a statement on “sign systems” and the oppression of British Sign Language (BSL).
BSL version of our statement:

Tragic #EqualityAct case on suicide of a university student following oral assessments. Not directly on #stammering #stamma but very relevant to it. stammeringlaw.org.uk/abrahar… #DisabilityDiscrimination
Great article. I've also added something on stammeringlaw at stammeringlaw.org.uk/employm…
'What does it say about us as a society that the phrase "Did I stutter?" is still prevalent in pop culture?'
