How to Do the Normalize Stuttering Challenge:

Accept the Challenge! Post a super short video, photo, or text post on social media (whatever is comfortable):
➡️ Person Who Stutters: “I stutter, and I’m worth listening to.”

➡️ Stuttering Ally: “If you stutter, I’m listening.”

Tag and Challenge at least 🧡3 Friends🧡 to share their own photo/video/text post within 24 hours
Use and tag and to spread the word. Ezra at Stutterology will add your post to their highlights, so people who stutter who are having a rough day can see tons of allies ready to listen.

Not comfortable on camera? Allies can make a donation (of any amount) to any of these stuttering organizations and post about your donation using :

National Stuttering Association (NSA)
FRIENDS Who Stutter
American Institute for Stuttering (AIS)
SPACE To Stutter
MySpeech Hub
👏 Congratulations! You’ve taken a small but crucial step towards supporting the Normalize Stuttering movement, allowing people who stutter to be their authentic selves without fear of bullying.

Language is more than just a collection of words; it is a vibrant tapestry of culture, traditions, and the intimate bonds of a community. It reflects the soul of a people and shapes their destiny. As we, the speech language pathologists, weave the magic of speech/language, we hold the sacred responsibility of honoring and nurturing every individual's native tongue, for it is a precious part of their identity. 🫶🏼

Your friendly reminder to focus on strengths of the individual. Neurodiverse brains are beautiful and our world could use more non linear thinkers.

“ Join the advocacy effort

Now that we have this guidance, here are some ways to advocate for children with DLD in schools.

Share the U.S. Department of Education’s response with your administrators, your teams, and in your social media channels and groups.
Provide an in-service training on DLD to your school community. The needs of children with DLD are not only the responsibility of the SLP—they require the support of everyone in the school community.
Use the term “DLD” during meetings with colleagues, parents, and community members, and share resources: DLD and Me, RADLD (Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder), and the DLD page of the NIH’s National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
Discuss how to include screening, progress monitoring, and interventions for children with DLD (and other language-comprehension difficulties) within your school’s MTSS framework. By joining general and special educator initiatives to include children with DLD, we can support these children within MTSS, with minimal increases to caseloads.
Consider how the label of DLD should provide support and understanding for children with DLD—but also consider and discuss ways to address label-related stigma, reduced expectations, and oppression.
Together we can make a difference in the lives of persons with DLD.”
