Memphis, Tenn. (May 6, 2020) — For more than seven decades, the Stuttering Foundation has worked hand-in-hand with teachers to help them understand the needs of the child who stutters, both in the classroom and on the playground. By providing information, such as handbooks, FAQs, tips, videos and classroom presentations, the Foundation offers free, easy-to use resources for every teacher and school.

Bill Withers has been a friend for many years and is on our list of Famous People Who Stutter. Like so many great singers and songwriters such as B.B. King and Carly Simon, Bill stuttered. And just as they did, he turned to singing to express himself through music because the spoken word was so tough for him. He will live on forever through his incredible songs.
