Skip to content In 5 days, you will fully master the Del Ferro speech technique. During the phase-out days and the aftercare program, we guide you step-by-step in phasing out the technique in practice. We won't let go until you speak fluently completely automatically—until no one can tell you ever stuttered.
Many people considering stuttering therapy have already experienced how painful a relapse can be. You learn a quick trick, speak fluently for a short while, but amid the hectic pace of daily life, you slowly slip back into old habits.
At Del Ferro, we take a fundamentally different approach. Our method isn’t designed to make you dependent on a trick; instead, it works purposefully toward natural and effortless fluent speech.
Through this structured approach, the new speech pattern becomes permanently ingrained. The old disruptions disappear, the technique becomes redundant, and naturally fluent speech becomes your new second nature.
Traditional speech therapy or short courses often fail during the transition to real life. Speaking fluently is usually easy enough in a quiet practice room. But calling an angry customer, giving a presentation to a large group, or having a high-stakes conversation is a completely different story.
Reprogramming a speech pattern you have carried for years takes time and repetition. The Del Ferro Method leverages the principle of neuroplasticity: the brain’s ability to create new neural pathways and habits.
By continuing to practice the speech technique in your daily life under varying levels of stress, we train the brain to permanently adopt the new speech pattern and prevent relapse.
Our program requires your active commitment, but guarantees that you will never be alone throughout the process. Together, we follow a structured pathway that proactively prevents relapse:
The Practical Assignments
Right after the 5-day course, you will get to work in your own environment with accessible assignments. This allows you to apply the technique immediately within your personal and professional life.
The 2 Phase-Out Days
During these days, you learn the final crucial component of the Del Ferro Method: step-by-step phasing out of the speaking technique. In this way, we make the transition from a conscious technique to unconscious, natural speech.
The Weekly Guidance
During the initial crucial period, you will have weekly contact with your stutter specialist. We discuss your progress in applying and phasing out the speech technique. We make adjustments where necessary and answer all your practical questions.
Advanced Mental Training
Once the physical foundation is established, we tackle the underlying speech anxiety. We eliminate mental noise and build unshakeable self-confidence.
The Biweekly Online Drop-In Aftercare
You can easily join the online drop-in aftercare in between your other appointments. It’s the ideal place to ask specific practical questions and talk through challenging situations. What’s more, you’ll gain an extra boost of motivation on your journey to a stutter-free life.
The Del Ferro Community
You gain access to a network of like-minded individuals. Practicing together, sharing experiences, and keeping each other accountable accelerates your journey toward a stutter-free life.
A frequently asked question is whether you will have to consciously think about every sentence you speak for the rest of your life.
Fortunately, the answer is no!
The process is comparable to how you once learned to drive a car or ride a bicycle:
In the beginning, you use the Del Ferro speech technique very consciously. By following up on the initial phase, taking part in the phase-out days, and gradually tapering off the technique, the process becomes fully second nature.
The old speech patterns in the brain are overwritten. Over time, your subconscious takes over, and fluent speech becomes a completely natural second nature.
The Del Ferro Method is not a temporary band-aid, but is developed as a permanent solution to stuttering. Our aftercare is designed to give you optimal support, ensuring your investment in yourself pays off for a lifetime. We are only satisfied when you speak with complete confidence and the words flow naturally in every situation.
Now that you know how our complete aftercare program works and how it ensures lasting results, you are likely curious about the practical and financial aspects of stuttering therapy.
Because our aftercare is fully included with the therapy, many employers and insurers take this into account in their evaluation. View all options for reimbursement for stuttering therapy here.
At the age of twenty, I decided: this has to stop. It was holding me back in everything - in my sports, my studies, my future. I wanted to reach my full potential, and that was only possible if I could speak freely. The Del Ferro Method made that happen. Finally, I could speak my mind without fear. I wish that feeling for everyone who stutters.

Permanently overcome stuttering and speaking anxiety by training your most important breathing muscle: the diaphragm. The Del Ferro Method restores your control so you can speak fluently and confidently in any situation—from an informal chat to presenting before a full room. Select the training below that matches your age group and learn to speak stutter-free.
6 to 12 Years
13 to 17 Years
Ages 18 and Up
Although it is not mandatory, we absolutely do not view aftercare as a casual option. The 5-day course gives you the perfect start, but the aftercare program ensures the definitive automation within your brain.
Students who actively participate in the aftercare program demonstrably achieve the best and most stable results. Look at it as elite sports: after the first major victory, you must keep training to keep your muscles, in this case, the diaphragm, in peak condition. Your motivation to perform this maintenance determines the ultimate success.
Do not panic; this can happen and is a perfectly normal part of your brain’s learning process. Often, a minor mistake has unconsciously crept into the physical execution of the speech technique, or a stressful period has influenced your mindset.
This is the moment to sound the alarm immediately and book an extra aftercare session. As quickly as possible, our stuttering specialists will sharpen your speech technique again, allowing you to speak completely fluently right away.
