What is Stutterology?
The creator of Stutterology, Ezra, has stuttered since the age of 6. They have volunteered with numerous stuttering non-profits over the last decade and are a sought-after voice to represent stuttering.
In 2022, they launched Stutterology. There is so much to learn from the disability activism and neurodivergent activism movements. Views on stuttering have hardly shifted during these incredible waves. It’s time.

Mission
-
Educate.
Despite being around since the beginning of speech, stuttering is still misunderstood. We use a lived-experience narrative to inform and educate people about stuttering and its various ‘treatments’.
-
Advocate.
What is the root cause of the “bad takes” around stuttering, and why does trauma from people with good intentions continue to happen to people who stutter? How can we enact change on a systemic level?
-
Empower.
If stuttering feels like a loss of control, then the expectation of fluency only compounds the issue. Changing our goals can free people who stutter. Education and advocacy can help empower us all to live full lives and ask for better.
Didn’t we, as a society, decide that shaming children about stuttering is a monstrous to do? Or does that only apply to fluent children? Lidcombe Programe makes us question…
