My spouse is going for speech therapy next week. If I am able to observe I will share. He also has PT as well. Hopefully all goes well for him.

Hello @sillyblone,

I'm pleased to hear that your husband will begin speech therapy next week. That can be tremendously helpful. I look forward to hearing about his experience. If you request to be in the room, that should be no problem. It is important for you to observe the process so that you can follow up with the speech exercises at home.

One of the most helpful exercises that I still practice is reading out loud, which includes pausing at punctuation and breathing at appropriate times.
