It’s International Stuttering Awareness Day! 💚 Canadian landmarks (CN Tower, Niagara Falls, etc.) shine sea green tonight to foster understanding and support.

Listen to those with lived experience (like the "Breaking the Ice Podcast"!). We all build empathy by listening.
#ISAD #Stuttering #Waterloo
Text overlay on a sea green background, the official colour of stuttering awareness. The text reads: "INTERNATIONAL STUTTERING AWARENESS DAY. LISTEN TO LIVED EXPERIENCE." The logo for Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates is visible below, along with the location "Waterloo, ON." Logo Description: The official logo features two hands gently forming a heart, symbolizing empathy, support, and connection. Inside the heart are four smaller hearts in blue, green, orange, and pink, representing the diverse individuals and families served. Framed by bold purple banners, the top displays the clinic’s name, and the bottom carries the guiding message: “Care Meets Possibilities.” This visual identity embodies the clinic's commitment to inclusive, strengths-based speech-language therapy.
