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!

Advice & Tips
This therapy is valuable in teaching PD patients some of the exercises which they can do to improve their speech. It also teaches you how to slow down in your pace of speaking. My speech pathologist was very supportive of me too. THAT is a real confidence booster. It is NOT a magic cure-all.

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.
