北海道吃音・失語症ネットワーク

About the Author

The Hokkaido Stuttering and Aphasia Network is a dedicated organization based in Hokkaido, Japan, committed to supporting individuals affected by speech disorders such as stuttering and aphasia. Through educational resources, community outreach, and advocacy, the network fosters understanding and inclusion, helping those who struggle with fluent communication to find their voice in society. Their work emphasizes empathy, awareness, and practical strategies for overcoming communication barriers, drawing from real experiences to empower children and adults alike. A key contribution is their children's book 'うまくしゃべれないぼくは、へん？: 吃音を知る絵本 (Japanese Edition)', which gently introduces the concept of stuttering to young readers, promoting acceptance and reducing stigma in an accessible, illustrated format.
