Expected result of treatment with CSP:
Fluent speech is the goal of treatment. Our target is to give you the right tools for improved fluency. Through this increase of fluency combined with a friendly, supportive athmosphere together with new friends striving for the same goals in therapy, you will increase your well-being and self-esteem, that brings you a higher degree of self-confidence in communication with others.
It might be good to know what kind of results of treatment you can expect. By now more than 50 persons have attended the intense treatment following the Comprehensive Stuttering Program (CSP) at our Clinic. It brings us the experience necessary to discover which persons that will achieve good results and the ones with less beneficial results. The method works very well irrespective of you are stuttering mildly or severely. The persons that before treatment were scored as very mild/ mild stuttering above all finds the outcome of treatment in terms of increased well-being; an improved self-confidence and candour in communicative situations, mostly manifested by increased uses of words and longer sentences. Realisticly, the former very mild/mild stutterer will through consistent training and use of the speech targets being learnt reach the level of fluent normal speech.
The persons before treatment being scored as moderate, severe or very severe stuttering, during treatment notices a remarkable increase of fluency, but on the other hand needs longer time of consistant maintenance training in order to strengthen motor skills necessary for fluent normal speech.
This intense treatment program brings you the tools necessary for the improvement of your motor skills to fluent normal speech. But, you need to continue your consistancy in training and the continuous maintenance of the speech targets being learnt in order to use them as a natural habit. We are talking about an automatized use of the speech techniques while speaking.
This method is nothing for lazy-bones, but the efficient method for the steady, stable goal-oriented person. The persons less successful (3 out of 10), all indicate that they have not used their speech targets while speaking, and not carried out their home-training exercises regularly. The persons successful in treatment and maintenance (7 out of 10), are the ones who consisteantly use their speech targets as often as possible as a natural and beneficial habit.

“All
my life I have been stuttering. In different periods of my life I have got help
and taken part of different therapies, such as "non-avoidance", psychotherapy
etc. Those therapies have somewhat been helpful, and supporting, socially and in
my working career. But, still I have been stuttering. A constant feeling that
speech and words are overloaded with energy, resulting in an overrating of
myself and my performance. "Words and speech is nothing you can waste
away."
With help from the Speech
training I've got and Dr Fluency, I can for the first time of my life take
command and control over my fluent speech, reinforce it and increase the amount
of fluent speech and leave the struggle of heavy blocks. I am no longer a victim
for circumstances caused by stuttering. Dependently on my consistency in
training, for every day, I can enjoy the increase of fluency in all speech
situations, both privately and at work. Now I am able just to move on talking,
talking. Yes, frankly just the feeling of freedom of making fun and tell a joke.
FINALLY!!”
