Well the alternative is to give up and be miserable. If something isn’t working then you change it up and keep tweaking the strategy. There is an infinite amount of variability in this world. It’s imp...

If it wasn’t for speech therapy I would have never been educated about what was wrong with me and why I couldn’t speak properly. I see speech therapy as more a self help guide so I could explore my co...
