SPACE is gathering information about negative treatment experienced by people who stutter, which may include discrimination on the basis of a stutter, or denial of a reasonable accommodation.
Such negative treatment may have occurred in the workplace, at school, or anywhere offering services to the public, including medical offices, courthouse buildings, or restaurants. If you or someone you know has experienced such negative treatment, we encourage you to contact aidan@spacetostutter.org and share your story.
We will never disclose your information without your permission. What you share will be used to help SPACE develop its advocacy efforts on behalf of people who stutter.
When we create a more inclusive world for people who stutter, we create a more inclusive world for everyone.
