‘Not easy’ learning to wear a face mask with a stammer

Breakfast on BBC Radio Somerset

Available for over a year

Stammering affects about one in every hundred people - according to the British Stammering Association. And as 2020 has seen the way we communicate change, we've been speaking to people in Somerset who live with the speech disorder on Breakfast with Claire Carter. It's as there have been some calls for stammerers to be exempt from wearing face coverings. Nick and Tony from Taunton both began to stammer at a young age. BBC Radio Somerset’s Emily Brown went to meet them.
