About International Stuttering Awareness Day

International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD) takes place on 22 October worldwide every year. Irish Stammering Association joins other national associations in celebrating this annual event with our own programme of events.

Previously, ISAD in Ireland was known as National Stammering Awareness Day (ISAD). It was an annual series of events taking place in October of each year. Founded by Dr Jonathon Linklater and former board member Michael O’Shea in 2007, NSAD—and now ISAD—has been going strong for more than ten years and remains a highlight of ISA’s calendar.
