For over 45 years, we’ve proven that a stutter-free life really is possible. Discover the key difference between the traditional speech-therapy approach and our method, so you can make the right choice for your stutter-free future.
The heart of the difference: accept it or overcome it?
Why don’t many speech therapy programs lead to a lasting solution? The answer lies in the philosophy. Worldwide, speech therapists are taught during their training that stuttering can’t be cured. So therapy focuses on acceptance.
In practice, this shows up in techniques that can be counterproductive:
-
Tricks to 'stutter better'
You learn, for example, to stutter on purpose (voluntary stuttering) to reduce the fear of it. -
Focus on 'learning to live with it'
The end goal isn’t fluent speech, but accepting that you’re 'a stutterer'. Sometimes parents are even told to stutter along, so a child won’t have to feel ashamed.
Telling yourself you have to accept your stutter leaves you feeling hopeless and undermines your confidence. Because how can you accept it in a society where fluent speech is the norm?
The Del Ferro method starts from a fundamentally different premise: stuttering can be completely overcome. We don’t focus on accepting the problem, but on tackling its physical cause. By training your diaphragm, the primary breathing muscle, we make stuttering physically impossible.
The results in practice: years of trying versus immediate progress
The experiences of our former participants speak for themselves. Many, like
At Del Ferro, you experience immediate results:
- From the first day of the course, you will speak fluently! This is our promise, confirmed time and again by participants like Robbert and Peter Albert.
- While a speech therapy program can take years, with us you lay the foundation in 5 days, followed by an effective aftercare program lasting a few months.
- The success lasts. Even after 40 years, former participants are still stutter-free and have been able to pursue careers that once seemed impossible.
NEW Guidance for parents of young children | ages 2-5
The Del Ferro method is effective for every child, regardless of age or the way they stutter. However, the most important condition for success is your child’s motivation: the will to really overcome it. Our experience shows that this awareness usually develops from around the age of five.
If you start earlier, the emphasis on a problem that your child doesn’t yet experience can actually reinforce insecurity. That’s why we only start when a child is personally bothered by it.
Especially for parents, we offer guidance to help you navigate this period and prevent the stuttering from getting worse.
