Stuttering & Moving Beyond Ableism

We can’t create sustainable change for the stuttering community without disrupting cultural norms around speech. The first step towards breaking down ableist systems is to identify them. 

In this episode, we talk about disrupting ableism by discussing the many systems for which it appears. We also dissect a new term in the ever expanding stuttering vernacular: the non-standard voice.
