Calls for universal symbol to help people with speech impediments

Advertisements

“I had never seen somebody live a full and happy life with a speech impediment.”

Kitty, 16, said finding a social media influencer who stammers made her feel more comfortable about her own voice

Jessie Yendle spent years growing her self-confidence with a stammer by doing videos on TikTok, where she now has 3.5 million followers.

“I’m emotional that you feel that way,” she replies to Kitty when the pair meet in a café.

“Growing up I had these dreams and I never thought I’d be able to achieve my dreams because of my speech.”

Ms Yendle is calling for the introduction of a universal symbol that would help the UK’s estimated 450,000 people with speech impediments.
