First we start working on to learn easier ways I'm breathing from our diaphragm and we also work on a lot of the emotional components of building confidence on the phone calling up a restaurant saying our names so I really and there is some home practice involved. I really believe that the people who have committed to this program it is life changing. I spoke to a parent yesterday of a ninth grader who took my program last year. He actually stayed longer because he wanted to make sure that he got the skills and she said now in ninth grade he pretty much uses his strategies in a more natural manner and he's a much more comfortable and confident speaker he can like do a little presentation in class. I mean to me public speaking is hard and I and I um I always feel bad for especially you know anyone who you know has not taken a public speaking class or it's just hard to all of a sudden get up whether you stutter or not and just speak to anybody you know and I don't know about you like I'm not great on the spot like if I and this is nothing to do with stuttering like if I go to a meeting or something and they say okay, you know, let's go around the room and talk about your feve animal or talk about where you want to go on vacation you know like these icebreakers I'm not very good at them and I start to get very nervous because I don't. It's a car for me to just think on the spot and so my heart always goes out to people who after all of a sudden zoo public speaking and you know in school accounts as an academic grade or at work you know it counts as whether you're going to move up in the company or not so it's something we work on in our other groups also, but I'm just very excited about the let's talk fluency program. It's something I developed I believe nobody knows what it's like to stun it unless you stutter yourself most of these programs are done virtually, which is so much easier for everybody so we don't have to spend time traveling and it gives us more time to do some practice at home so if you're interested, please reach out to me. My email is LoriRI at all island speech.com I really my goal is to help people and offer hope where you might have had therapy like once a week in the past for a half an hour and it wasn't really working. It just isn't enough to change motor patterns in school. Many of the students don't qualify anyway, not all speech pathologists specialize in stuttering and they' just isn't this the expertise or the specialty to work on it so I will keep talking about it. Feel free to email me most of these intensive programs are out of network because there is such a emotional component. There is a coaching component and it's just impossible for these programs to work you know in the medical model of what most insurance companies will pay in network, but you know please contact me for more information and you certainly can use a flex spending card if you need to so I hope that information helps. you can also no let's email. I was gonna say text me but sometimes things get a little bit lost in it texting you know what I'll put my number 516-776-0184 Have a wonderful day if you started there is hope there are many people who tried to knock me down and tell me I wouldn't be able to attain a higher level of fluency and they were 100% wrong and the more they told me the more I put back you can do this. You don't have to be 100% fluent. You don't even have to be you know 90 you can be what what whatever you want but you want to say what you want to say you don't want to feel like you can only say things that you have to push out of your mouth so there is hope I can't wait to tell you more and have on my guests and I can't wait to hear from you. Have a wonderful fabulous day your voice matters you matter to me.
