CHOA Arthur M. Blank Stuttering Clinic

The Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta was designed around a simple idea: every child deserves a place where they feel heard, valued, and confident expressing themselves.

Created to support children and young adults who stutter, along with their families, the center brings together individualized care, education, and community in an environment designed to feel welcoming rather than clinical. A range of specialized spaces supports the different ways participants learn, practice, connect, and grow.

Private therapy rooms provide settings for one-on-one sessions, family conversations, and individualized goal setting, while conference rooms support consultations, multidisciplinary team collaboration, and educational workshops for parents, educators, and visiting speech-language pathologists. Larger gathering spaces create opportunities for group activities and peer connection, giving participants a place to build relationships with others who share similar experiences.

A dedicated recording studio adds another dimension to the center’s work. Specialized technology allows clinicians and participants to capture speech samples, practice public speaking, and document progress over time—helping make communication milestones visible and worth celebrating.

Throughout the center, the design works to reduce anxiety and create a sense of comfort for children and caregivers alike. More than a setting for clinical care, it is a place that supports the center’s larger mission: helping children understand that stuttering is not something to hide and creating an environment where they can communicate openly, connect with others, and be themselves.
