There is a countless number of stuttering treatment methods in the world today; however, out of such variety, there is not even one method that could guarantee a complete and permanent elimination of stuttering. At the same time, the Speech Education Program ETALON does not just claim, but has been producing the following results for the last 15 years: complete and permanent elimination of stuttering in each and every graduate of the Program!
What is a common tragic flow of all other stuttering programs and what makes the Program ETALON so unique and powerful?
The main issue that causes all other “stuttering cure” methods to fail is the lack of understanding by its providers that all stutterers suffer from underdevelopment of their voluntary control center, which operates human’s behavior. In order for people to perform correctly any conscious action of the body (including speaking!), they must possess two extremely important characteristics – mature consciousness and will power.
Instead of teaching stutterers self-control and taking responsibility for their own actions, it is common that “stuttering specialists” interact with their clients in a sect-like way. A speech therapist, psychologist, healer or another “stuttering specialist” “helps” by convincing their patients in the incorrect assumption that stutterers have an incurable disease, which is not their fault, that stuttering makes a person a unique individual, and that they have to be proud of such “uniqueness”. It is being engraved in stutterers’ psychic that because they cannot control their speech on their own, they need someone to “help” them do this. In addition, “speech specialists” poison stutterers mind with such a misconception that people with normal speech never control consciously or take responsibility for their own speech actions!
A stutterer blindly believes all such untruthful concepts, waits for a speech authority to mentor, advice, correct, fix his/her speech….. and, as the result, becomes totally morally and psychologically dependent on such “specialist-helper”. In other words, stutterers learn delegating responsibility for their own speech to a “helper” and expecting that this “helper” will control their (stutterers’) speech for them.
Providing heightened attention for every mistake is easy for any well-trained “helper”, but such strategy can never improve speech of a suffering from mistakes person, who does not have the necessary knowledge and self-control skills in place. It is simply worthless to chase and correct inadequate individuals that constantly expect that some “helper” will take responsibility for their actions. The bottom line is that stutterer’s voluntary control center becomes substituted by the helper’s voluntary control center.
Because ofsuch dangerous sect-like practice, a big group of easy-to-control and lack-of-willpower stutterers begin to crowd around their “helper” – the service provider of the sect-like program. They become totally dependent on their leader, mentor, God! This useless practice of relying on and expecting cure from an outside “helper” has lead to the worldwide creation of many Stuttering Centers, Associations, and Foundations, which end up reinforcing the continuation of stuttering behaviors in stutterers. Each time graduates of any sect-like stuttering program experience a remission of stuttering, they return to their “helper” (speech therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, healer, etc.) and say: “My helper did not help! The method did not help!” Such and similar statements indicate that rather thanblaming themselves for their own incorrect speech actions, stutterers completely abrogate responsibility for their speech behavior. Just like young children, they become accustomed to always follow someone holding their hand and it is natural that when they lose their “shepherd” (who functions as their voluntary controlcenter), theyinevitably slip back to theirold bad speech habits. That is why, all programs built on such a sect-like approach towards stuttering are programed to fail and wrongly instill dependence on the false mentor.
The most significant scientific discovery of Roman Snezhko, the author of Speech Education Program ETALON, is that he has explained, underlined, and emphasized the crucial necessity of developing the voluntary control center as well as eliminating a faulty belief in any outside “helper” in each stuttering individual in achievement of a complete and permanent elimination of stuttering. Until a stutterer quits expecting and relying upon an external help, he/she will never mature or become an independent speaker.
All stutterers are people with underdeveloped immature speech. For various reasons, they have stopped acquiring their own speaking skills at young age and learned to expect some “helper” to do this for them. Even though they have grown into adults, however, their speech level has still remained immature and inadequate. Their faulty hope for a “helper-healer” has blocked their natural ability to initiate and will power to change. It has stopped stutterers from even attempting to control or improve their own speaking and discouraged them from following the natural path of speech self-development. Such sect-like approach is extremely harmful for the development of speaking skills in stutterers because it paralyzes formation of their independence and ability to take personal responsibility for THEIR OWN speech, THEIR OWN immature vocabulary, and THEIR OWN speaking mistakes.
Moreover, this paradigm of convincing stutterers that they are incapable of development of their own speech and that they need a “helper” or “healer” to do the job for them is fallacious! It appears as a purposeful profitable deception of stutterers: to hook them up on their permanent dependence on a “helper”, eliminating their will power and controlling functions, and turn them into fearful, passive, and obedient people that would be constantly paying for their “helper’s” service! However, any attempt to produce normal speech without the presence of total control and will power is programmed to fail. It is as if a man with closed eyes would attempt to run up and down the stairs hoping to never stumble or type on a computer keyboard with the confidence in never making a typo because “he is CURED now”! No matter how good a person could be at what he/she is doing, still, in order to guarantee the best performance of any conscious action of the body, he/she must have his/her full attention directed to this action only.
As opposed to all sect-like methods that teach stutterers to delegate their responsibility and control function onto someone else, the method ETALON COMPLETELY ELIMINATES such dangerous concepts from the very beginning of the study course. Program students are ordered to take immediate and total responsibility for their speech actions. Instead of blaming somebody else, students begin to realize that it is only their own lack of speech control that should be blamed for their own speech mistakes. They also understand that sounding out a word correctly does not require a lot of attention or effort from any person and that even young children (that are just learning to speak!) can do that.
Carrying and attentive parents or teachers always scold their children/students for each incorrectly produced sound or word, demonstrate and explain them the correct way of speaking and, then, demand mistake-free speech from young learners. Thus, children from their early age naturally learn to become RESPONSIBIL for their own speech. Similar to parents and teachers, the method ETALON enables program students in understanding, noticing, and then, eliminating their own mistakes by producing mistake-free speech as the result of being both in control and responsible for their speech actions.
Speech Education Program ETALON is an instruction-guide designed for self-correction of stutterers’ speech. It determines and instantly awakens stutterer’s voluntary control center. The Method emphasizes the necessity of just 3 days for the program teachers to ENABLE students in self-identification and self-correction of their own speech mistakes independently, without any “helper”. Note, that program teachers’ role in this process is changing from as ACTIVE as the student’s in the very beginning to PASSIVE at the end of the study course: they point to what a stutterer MUST correct, provide the knowledge about natural speaking and, then, it is up to him/her to be responsible and attentive for following newly learned norms and rules for speaking. A stutterer MUST learn to play an active role in this process as the only guarantee of not allowing mistakes in his/her own speech 100% of time. In other words, the responsibility for a stutterer’s mistakes is totally placed on the individual who makes them! This is how students form their voluntary center for taking responsibility for their actions without any outside help! All graduates of the Program ETALON turn into Masters of their own speech. They turn into independent, valuable, and fully functional social individuals that no longer have the need for any “helper” in their speech because they CAN perform their own speech actions correctly, without mistakes, by themselves.
The Method ETALON enables stutterers to obtain their voluntary control center. All program graduates turn into free, independent, and socially valuable people that take responsibility for their speech actions!

It depends on the way of education one choses. An individual Skype setting is designed for three days, but usually elimination of stuttering occures INSTANTLY, right after our student has understood how and began to perform correctly speaking actions of his/her body. I have witnessed as little as 10 minutes that it took for an ETALON student to begin speaking normally. However, the students that chose to learn the method on their own, may spend a lot of time on studying - depending on their commitment and deligence.
