'My stammer has made 2020 more difficult'

Zoom quizzes, online lectures and working from home has been a challenge for all of us in 2020, but it's been even tougher for people with a stammer.

They've struggled with the isolation, which meant less interaction and less chance to speak to others, and having to wear a mask, which meant they've had problems communicating when they've been in shops or out and about.
