AI Summary
This resolution proclaims the week of May 9-15, 2025, as National Stuttering Acceptance Awareness Week, recognizing stuttering as a speech dysfluency that affects approximately 1% of the world's population and roughly 3 million Americans. The resolution highlights the challenges faced by people who stutter, including potential emotional stress, communication difficulties, and impacts on personal and professional relationships. It traces the history of stuttering awareness back to 1988, when President Ronald Reagan first signed a proclamation establishing a national awareness week. The resolution aims to raise public understanding of stuttering as a form of speech diversity, emphasizing the importance of inclusion, support, and acceptance. By encouraging Californians to support the stuttering community, the resolution seeks to draw attention to the needs of people who stutter, promote awareness of communication disorders, and help reduce misunderstandings about stuttering. The Chief Clerk of the Assembly is tasked with distributing copies of the resolution to facilitate broader awareness and understanding.
