Are you looking for a stuttering therapy for your child that goes beyond regular speech therapy? With the Del Ferro method, you don’t work on accepting stuttering, but on a permanent solution. We fully tailor our program to the world as children experience it, so that your son or daughter speaks fluently and confidently at school, in class, and during play.
What can you expect for your child from stuttering therapy?
During the 5-day training, your child learns the Del Ferro speaking technique. Because the physical blockage is released directly at the source, stuttering is physically impossible. Your child speaks 100% fluently and stutter-free from day one.
Your child speaks completely freely and fluently in all situations. From a nerve-wracking presentation in class to a chat on the playground. Through the combination of the physical speaking technique and child-focused mental support, self-confidence grows quickly. Doubt and speaking anxiety give way to joy in speaking.
Fluent speech is the new reality. Your child experiences the freedom to tell stories carefree and live life full of energy. Self-confidence rises to a high level, and as a parent, you know that a stutter-free future is a proven certainty. Nobody can hear that your child ever stuttered.
During the Del Ferro course, your child works step-by-step toward a future without stuttering and speech anxiety. Discover what they learn in each phase, from the first 5 training days to phasing out the technique and the aftercare program. Click on the components to view the content:
On the first day, in a relaxed atmosphere, your child gets to know peers and the trainers. From the very first moment, your son or daughter learns how stuttering becomes physically impossible with the Del Ferro speaking technique. On this very first day, your child already experiences what it is like to speak 100% fluently. That immediately brings peace of mind and a big smile.
On day two, your child deepens the speaking technique. They learn how great it is to talk without sneaky tricks, such as delaying or avoiding difficult words. Together, we playfully apply the method in various everyday situations, allowing your child to build increasing skill and calm. With fun exercises, we reinforce focus and enjoyment while speaking.
On day three, your child learns how to apply the speaking technique more subtly and naturally, without others noticing. We also work on inner feelings. We help your child let go of uncertainty and the fear of stuttering. This way, your son or daughter learns that speaking can be fun again, and confidence grows by the day.
On day four, your child applies the Del Ferro method in relatable situations. Think of reading aloud to the group, practicing a presentation, or talking in a busy environment. As your child notices that the technique works 100% in these situations as well, speech anxiety fades further into the background. Your child discovers they can say whatever they want again.
On the final day, we celebrate the great results! In a relaxed atmosphere, your child shows what they can do, such as telling a story with total confidence. Together with you as a parent, we wrap up the week on a festive note with a clear action plan. This way, you know exactly how to best keep supporting your child at home and at school.
During the 2 follow-up training sessions, your child learns the crucial final part of our method: step-by-step tapering off of the speaking technique. We guide your child through the transition from a conscious technique to subconsciously automatic fluent speech. In this way, the technique moves further into the background, and conscious effort makes way for carefree talking.
In the aftercare program, there is weekly contact with the stuttering specialist to ensure progress at school and at home. As a family, you are never alone. We adjust where necessary, celebrate your child’s successes, and answer practical questions directly. This makes fluent speech a permanent habit in daily life, until nobody notices your child ever stuttered.

Del Ferro Stuttering Therapy Was One of the Best Choices I Ever Made in My Life
Del Ferro Stuttering Therapy Was One of the Best Choices I Ever Made in My Life
Before the course, my son Daniel was literally unable to utter a single word without stuttering. By Day 2 of the 5-day training program, he was already speaking in complete sentences without a single stutter. Now, six months later, his speech continues to steadily progress.
He faithfully practices his daily breath exercises. It takes him about 20 minutes a day, but it is worth it a thousand times over!

Del Ferro is life-changing!
Del Ferro is life-changing!
We are absolutely thrilled that we brought our 7-year-old son to Del Ferro. We had read a newspaper article about the Del Ferro Method, and our initial reaction was, “too good to be true.” But it turned out to be completely real! Everything they say is absolutely true. In just 5 days, they teach a technique to overcome stuttering, which simply requires consistent commitment at first.
Within three weeks, my son was speaking fluently (without even needing the technique anymore!). It feels like we have a completely different child; his self-confidence has soared. It is deeply moving and a beautiful thing to witness. Without exaggeration, it truly is life-changing! Thank you so much!

After Stuttering Therapy, My Son Has Never Stuttered Again
After Stuttering Therapy, My Son Has Never Stuttered Again
My 9-year-old son struggled with a stutter. He saw speech therapists for years, but it never helped him achieve fluency. As he grew older, the stuttering increasingly got in his way. The moment I came across the Del Ferro Method, I didn’t hesitate for a single second.
Five months have passed now, and it’s as if he never stuttered at all. I now have a child who even reads aloud to his brothers and sisters completely effortlessly. He has made so many new friends; it has truly transformed him into a completely different, happier child. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Now I Dare to Strike Up a Conversation With Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime
I completed the course because I was afraid I would be bullied once I started high school. Five months have passed since I finished the course, and I no longer stutter at all.
I still do the exercises I learned during the course, and if the stuttering ever comes back, I apply the techniques I was taught. I am so happy that I took the course.

We witnessed a miracle
We witnessed a miracle
Our 10-year-old daughter had struggled with a stutter since she was five. Our local speech therapist told us to just “learn to live with it” and remarked that she had “soft, easy stutters.” After hesitating for a long time, we finally turned to Del Ferro. There, we witnessed a true miracle: she no longer stutters at all. It is absolutely incredible.
It deeply upsets me that our local speech therapist actively discouraged us from going to Del Ferro. We were even warned: “If you choose to go there, I will no longer treat her.” I would wholeheartedly recommend Del Ferro to absolutely everyone!

While traditional speech therapy often focuses on a lengthy search for underlying causes or learning to accept stuttering, Del Ferro consciously chooses a different path. Without discounting the value of speech therapy, we notice that digging deep into the ‘why’ can actually make a child highly insecure. In some cases, the stuttering even worsens because the focus remains constantly on the limitation.
At Del Ferro, we skip the theoretical exploration and focus directly on the physical solution. We view stuttering as a physical blockage that can be resolved at the source by training the diaphragm muscle. Our training for children is purely practical, positive, and results-oriented. Your child learns to regain control over their speech in an easy-to-understand way and experiences from day one that fluent speech is indeed possible. This gives their self-confidence an immediate, massive boost.
The costs of stuttering therapy for children are partially reimbursed by various health insurers. In addition, there are often possibilities through other agencies. During a free and non-binding consultation, we would be happy to advise you personally on this, so that you know exactly what to expect.
To ensure that every child receives the attention they need, we work in small, familiar groups. The atmosphere is safe and stimulating. As a parent or guardian, you are welcome to attend.
Training hours are Monday to Thursday from 10:00 to 16:00 and on Friday from 09:00 to 13:00.
Certainly! After the course, we use a personal update system. As parents, you send a weekly update on your child’s progress. The teacher provides feedback and answers all your questions until fluent speech has become second nature.
Yes, our institute is very easy to reach by both car and public transport. There is parking available in front of the building and we are located near Amsterdam Zuid station. Coming from afar? Schiphol is only 8 minutes away by train.

Yes, in addition to group training, we also offer the therapy privately (at a location of your choice or at our office in Amsterdam) and online via live video sessions. This allows us to fully tailor the training to your child’s needs.
