What is "A world that understands stuttering" ??

By: Benny Ravid

A world that understands stuttering, understands much more... Such world understands the meaning of tolerance. Such world knows to accept a person the way he is, including his weakness. In such world one understands the other so, that even a stuttering person (like me) can buy a bottle of Coca Cola without a feeling of shame... This is a better world not only for PWS but it is better for all of us.

The question is how we are going to move towards a "A world that understands Stuttering". In the first place, we have to do our best to increase public awareness to the issue of stuttering, but that is not enough. We have to promote the issue of tolerance in its universal meaning.

A person who Stutters is first of all a Human Being. As such he may and has to care of himself and the humanity.

It is certain that each small step towards a "A world that understands stuttering", is a big step for all of us.
