Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research

Established in October 2020, The Blank Center is now home to the Michael and Tami Lang Stuttering Institute, the Dealey Family Foundation Stuttering Clinic, and Dr. Jennifer and Emanuel Bodner Developmental Stuttering Laboratory. The Center builds on the innovative and visionary leadership and the clinical and research efforts of Dr. Courtney Byrd, who began building a stuttering program at UT in 2003, with the three branches focusing on education, treatment, and research.
Advancing knowledge from the lab to the clinic is the core of our efforts to assist persons who stutter, their families, and their clinicians.
