If you target a specific sound and practice that a little each day, you can really make progress! Here we focus on the sound long E makes. Join me to practice the vowel sound, 2 words featuring that sound, and sentences to put those words in all with a fall theme. Feel the rhythm! It can really help your words and ideas flow better!
You can improve your speech if you have aphasia, if you have had a stroke or brain injury.
I see it every day.
Let me know how this exercise goes for you!
This exercise combines a few elements that I use daily with people in my conversation classes who have aphasia!
Complete sentences and where to start
Rhythm to help the words + ideas flow
Attention to starting sounds if your mouth muscles are a challenge
Hoping you have set a goal for your speech in the new year!
Here to support you + cheer you on with your goals!
You can do it!
We would love to help!
