Advice & Tips
I would advise anyone with speech difficulty to form a Communication Circle as described in my blog http://livingwithmsa.com/.
The unexpected positive benefit was that I stopped drooling.

Advice & Tips
This approach is called a Communication Circle by my speech therapist. I have a number of friends who volunteered to come to my place and coach me through speech exercises provided by my therapist, who also trained the volunteers. They tell me about the positive impact on their lives - I know how positive it is for me!
I believe this treatment and exercises for my mouth and tongue help me from losing my voice, the treatments where once a week for almost 2 years but my primary doctor stopped my treatments after heavy slurring of my voice.
The therapist though I was already doing everything I should be doing, so I got very little out of this treatment and quit goin. I would recommend this for anyone with speach or swallowing problems though. It is nice to know where you stand.
