Empower children, teens and adults who stutter

For decades, the typical approach to treating stuttering has been to try to get people to stop — but that doesn’t work. That’s why Dr. Courtney Byrd of the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research within the Moody College of Communication has pioneered a different treatment for stuttering that focuses on building confident communicators. 

Give this Gift to Change the World and you’ll help provide evaluations and therapy free of charge to more children, teens and adults who stutter. You’ll also equip more professionals with the skills they need to effectively treat stuttering.

"The Blank Center teaches us to be confident in our speech, and we learn not to hate ourselves because of it, and we learn to get stronger, and to never let stuttering stop us from achieving our dreams."

- LaWayne Sneed, Blank Center Participant
