Stuttering Awareness Day Promotes Help and Research
The Stuttering Foundation marks International Stuttering Awareness Day to highlight available help. About 2.5 million Americans stutter, with roughly 75 percent of childhood stutterers outgrowing it by age 12. Costigan notes true stuttering involves physiological speech processes and a genetic component. The Hollins Fluency System has aided about 4,800 stutterers with a 90 percent success rate after 19 to 30 days of intensive therapy.
