John Krasinski, Emily Blunt's husband, was also in attendance, in addition to John Stossel, Joe Moglia, Arthur Blank, and Alan Rabinowitz.

All of the honorees at all 7 galas have been people who stutter. Many have overcome stuttering or hide it in various ways, so that's not always apparent, but if you listen to what they have to say, they clearly understand what its like to stutter.

I have big dreams in life. I want to become an actor. I have a stutter, but that does not stop me from going after my dreams. Don't let something stop you from doing what you want. Fight hard to get what you want. God bless you all.

He is an inspiration, he suffered a stutter, but now he's likely fluent.

Watching you people just fills me with confidence that I can also defeat the stutter... (even I was bullied my entire school days)..probably the hardest thing to do is to not let people know that you stutter..because once you stutter..then that bad feeling sunk in :(

Hi Arjun. I'd like to encourage you to check out some of our other videos on the American Institute for Stuttering Channel and our website at stutteringtreatment.org. We understand how discouraging it can be to deal with stuttering every day. Please know there is hope and help is available.

At AIS, we offers holistic therapy approach. While every person is different, therapy commonly involves: Learning ways to physically manage moments of stuttering, reducing negative thoughts and emotional reactions to stuttering, enhancing overall communication skills, and learning to communicate more freely and comfortably.
