Editing Stuttering (section)

===Stuttering community===
Many countries have regular events and activities to bring people who stutter together for mutual support. These events take place at regional, national, and international levels. At a regional level, there may be stuttering support or chapter groups that look to provide a place for people who stutter in the local area to meet, discuss and learn from each other.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stammering Groups {{!}} STAMMA |url=https://stamma.org/connect/local-groups |access-date=2023-07-23 |website=stamma.org |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |title=Local NSA Chapters {{!}} Stuttering Support Groups |url=https://westutter.org/chapters/ |access-date=2023-07-23 |website=National Stuttering Association |language=en-US}}</ref>

There are two international meetings of stutterers. The [[International Stuttering Association]] World Congress primarily focuses on individuals who stutter. Meanwhile, the Joint World Congress on Stuttering and Cluttering brings together academics, researchers, speech-language pathologists, as well as people who stutter or clutter, with a focus on research and treatments for stuttering.{{fact|date=February 2025}}
