Following thorough assessment, Elizabeth explained the reasons behind my speech problems so clearly. I had no idea how much was involved in saying a simple word! I had lost control over my facial muscles, but with Elizabeth’s guidance and lots of practice, I was able to make improvements in strength and co-ordination. I also learned compensatory techniques, like slowing down and breaking my sentences up into smaller chunks, which enabled me to make my speech clearer so others could understand me.
