tamilewisbrown.com

Two Ohio lawmakers want to create an awareness day about communication disorders and name it for the wife of former astronaut and former Democratic U.S. Senator John Glenn of Ohio. Annie Glenn became a public speaker after going through a program to address her struggle with stuttering. The lawmakers have introduced legislation to establish her birthday of February 17 as the "Annie Glenn Communication Disorders Awareness Day". The sponsors say it could help educate others about the challenges facing people dealing with communication disorders. Annie Glenn is known as an advocate for others who have similar disorders.
