I joined Del Ferro when I was 13. By applying the method, I became increasingly fluent! But at the time, I experienced it as a kind of elite sport: it was quite challenging to apply it consistently in front of my peers.

Recently, I decided to return to the Del Ferro Institute for a film project about young people who stutter. I was struck by how Patrick’s passion and enthusiasm remained exactly the same. He told me in all honesty how the course had developed over the eight years I had been away. During my observation days, I noticed that the challenges faced by people who stutter and course participants are recognised and discussed during the course. I see this as an essential addition.
