You may have heard that stuttering is normal and disappears on its own. But do you feel this is more than just a phase? Then now is the time to choose the right path.
Many conventional therapies focus on acceptance, rather than providing actual help for a child who stutters. But that means resigning yourself to a problem that doesn’t have to exist.
For over 45 years, Del Ferro has proven that stuttering can be completely cured.
Even in young children. Give your child the chance to speak freely, confidently and without stuttering. A lifetime.
Many children occasionally stumble over words. This is called primary stuttering: slight repetitions that usually disappear on their own.
But watch out for these signs of secondary stuttering, the point at which expert treatment is needed:
Do you recognise this? Don’t wait. The sooner you choose the right approach, the greater the chance of lasting results.
The standard route is often speech therapy. But there’s a big danger lurking: worldwide, training programs teach that stuttering is incurable.
What does this mean for your child in practice?
Telling a child that stuttering is permanent breaks down self-confidence. How can you accept something that other children can do fluently?
From what age can stuttering be overcome?
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.
Are you unsure if your child is ready? We can assess well whether the Del Ferro stuttering therapy is suitable at this time. During a free and personal consultation, where your child is of course present, we’ll give you honest and clear advice.
Make a difference, even if your child is still too young for our course. It starts with the right foundation and avoiding well-intentioned but incorrect advice.
What you should do:
What you should never do:
Is your child still too young for the course, but do you want the right guidance now and prevent the stuttering from getting worse? Then there’s the Starter Pack for parents .
For €249 you get:
With this package, you bridge the period until the 5-day stuttering therapy with knowledge, certainty, and direct support.
The Starter Pack helps you move forward now, but it’s just the beginning. As soon as your child is old enough (usually around 6 years old), he or she can participate in one of our stuttering therapies:
5-day stuttering therapy for children
During this week, your child learns to fully apply the Del Ferro method and learns to speak fluently from the first day of the course. Afterwards, extensive aftercare and guidance follow to ensure fluent speech becomes permanent.
