Help Us Impact More Lives

Together, we will empower children, teens, and adults worldwide to stutter openly, speak conﬁdently, communicate effectively, and advocate meaningfully so that stuttering never stops them from living their lives to the fullest.

Your contribution will help the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research:

Provide CARE at no cost to more children, teens, and adults who stutter worldwide

Educate more speech-language pathology students and professionals

Generate more research to move the field forward

Dream. Speak. Give.
