International Stuttering Awareness Day

International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD), or International Stammering Awareness Day, is an annual celebration held on October 22. It was first held in the UK and Ireland, in 1998. The day is intended to raise public awareness of the issues faced by millions of people – one percent of the world's population – who stutter, or stammer.

October 22 is the 295th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 70 days remain until the end of the year.
