There is a growing community of people who have become disability advocates for themselves as stutterers (or people with stutters) and others who stutter. Much in the same way that using a wheelchair limits people only to the extent that society constructs inaccessible infrastructure, many argue that stuttering limits speakers only as much as they are judged for stuttering. They draw parallels between the ways that society (and the medical field, including speech-language pathologists) treats and discusses people who stutter and the way that people with other disabilities are treated and discussed.

Some people who stutter identify with the disability label, while others do not. In the end, it is up to the person who stutters to determine whether they identify with the label.
