a)When I was a stutterer I found it difficult to pronounce words beginning with certain letters such as b,d,g,k, and v etc I would always be substituting words e.g., “Birmingham” to “West Midlands”. These letters plus others are known as
“hard sounding” letters of
alphabet. I found
“soft sounding” letters (vowels plus
letter h) normally OK to say. Therefore I was trying to find a technique which would enable me to make hard sounds soft, I eventually found
answer and one of
speech rules covers this.
b)I hated “blocking” when I was a stammerer. One of
speech rules when applied makes it impossible for
stutterer to block.
c)For most stutterer’s their speech is at its most vulnerable when they are under pressure. I therefore have a speech rule dealing with this issue.
6.How to become fluent using
speech rules.
7.Understanding
psychological aspects of speech.
There is nothing in
course for
client to fear or worry about. If there is an area of
course that they would rather not cover or do they simply do not do it.
Each course is unique, as every stutterer is different; this is why courses are run on a one-to-one basis.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
