Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Tips from your book: Helpful tips: * observe how you speak e.g., how your jaw moves * focus on your breathing (to have adequate air to speak) * train the muscles in your jaw (to gain muscle control to speak) * communicate a lot * if they can fix a broken spine, you can train your muscles to speak Strategy: * read aloud as slowly as you can (each letter a few seconds; inhale at each word) \[gaining muscle memory\] * don't force it * if severe stuttering, then inhale after each letter instead * hold on to the tension when saying non-prolongeable letters like /D/ * be relaxed while speaking
