Stutter UAE's 8th International Stuttering Awareness Day Event

We believe that every voice matters and that each contribution lays a brick in the foundation of a more informed, accepting, and inclusive community.

Our International Stuttering Awareness Conference serves as a catalyst for dialogue and transformation. Annually, this platform gathers experts, professionals, and community members to discuss the latest advancements in speech therapy and to illuminate the realities of stuttering from those who experience it firsthand.

Our goal is to foster a conversation about stuttering that leaves a lasting impression of inspiration and inclusion.
