INTERNATIONAL STUTTERING AWARENESS DAY
HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.31 pm]: I rise to say a few words to mark the upcoming International Stuttering Awareness Day, which is next Monday, 22 October. Monday will mark 21 years of Stuttering Awareness Day. The Australian Speak Easy Association is the peak body for Australians who have the lived experienced of stuttering. Speech Pathology Australia is the peak body of speech therapists, and both of these groups have released a joint awareness statement, which was read by Mark Irwin, the president of ASEA.
