Hello Katie, I am not sure if disability services rank disabilities but they of course have a lot more information for the more well known and publically known ones. Stuttering affects many many people and many different ways and forms. Perhaps many people do not see it as a disability. I know from personal experience that many stutterers do not. I think the word "disability" should be wiped off the planet all together and a more friendly term (if any) be used). This may encourage people to ask for help when needed. I do think the lack of education and awareness is leading to communication disorders being left behind.
