Daily life of a stammerer. Morning coffee on holiday in Madrid and moment of panic as they asked my name when I ordered. I tried to say it but I couldn’t. So today, I was Claire instead #ICantSayMyName #stammering
As a newly qualified teacher with a stammer #ICantSayMyName was inspiring to watch. Give it a watch if you can as it shows a number of ways on how to support children and adults who stammer✨

First meet up in person since #ICantSayMyName was broadcast with my former NHS speech therapist (now friend) Carolyn. I first saw her at the age of 11 for help with my stammer and I owe her so much more than I could vocalise here #stammering

'Do you think the challenges faced by people who stammer overtly or audibly is very different from people who stammer internally?'

I'm well known in my community for having a 'distinctive voice'. What people don't realise is that voice has come from many years of managing a stammer so I can go about my profession. Most people don't realise I have a stammer. #ICantSayMyName
And just this morning I called my GP and spoke to a receptionist. I was told to ‘hurry up’ and to ‘try again later’, all because #ICantSayMyName . This societal shift needs to change, NOW.
