He is getting help from Gert Reunes, a therapist who specializes in stuttering and who struggled with his own words for over thirty years. Together they are working to improve Jef's fluency.

"... Passion is the first word that comes to mind watching STAMMERS, the heart-warming portrait Joke Nyssen made - with the patience of a saint - of her brother Jef, an ostensibly incurable stutterer who, with great difficulty and equal determination, gradually learns to gain control and win himself a place in society... Two years of shooting and 150 hours of footage have been distilled into a document brimming with affection, as pure and tender as the portrait French actress Sandrine Bonnaire made of her sister in 'On m'appelle Sabine'." - Freddy Sartor in Filmmagie
The dvd is available with Dutch, English and French subtitles!

"Stotters"
Op zondag 18 april ging de documentaire "Stotters" in première in Studio Skoop.
Jef, een achttienjarige jongen met een autisme spectrum stoornis, kampt al jaren met een zwaar stotterprobleem. Samen met zijn ouders ondernam hij een hele reeks pogingen om van zijn spraakprobleem verlost te raken. Tevergeefs. Nu, jaren later, gaat hij voor de laatste keer de strijd aan om zijn stotters te overwinnen. Hij wordt hierbij geholpen door Gert, een stottertherapeut die tot zijn dertigste zelf zwaar worstelde met zijn woorden. Samen proberen ze Jefs probleem te overwinnen. Nu Jef voelt dat er iets gedaan kan worden aan zijn stotterprobleem, is hij misschien in staat zich ook op andere vlakken te overtreffen...
