I'm using music in my sessions. There is a big debate about using music in a healthcare centre. The results so far are: overall reduction in depression, anxiety and increase in happiness, motivation and cognitive improvement. I like it and they like it too!
Thanks to all the angel speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists. My dad works hard at improving after his stroke and you people give him direction to focus that drive. You make a difference.

@@beyondhighc Thank you. Here's what one of the camps they put on is like @ kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJWErLd7oqbWaLw.html .... They have a bunch of SLP students and physical therapy students come out for it. It's a way for them to give back to the volunteers (with aphasia) who work with the University students and it's great for the people with aphasia because it gives them a sense of community and solidarity with others ... and the caregivers. Keep up the great work.
I am 4 years post stroke. Lost my singing voice after my stroke and I struggle with stuttering now. Very glad I found this exercise to work on and hopefully it will help me not stutter as much anymore.

I currently care for a 41 year old woman that has been neurologically disabled after a stay in the hospital back in 2010. . The so called medical professionals claimed that she would never be aware again.. She developed a stage 4 pressure ulcer on her tailbone region. Nobody ever has survived a wound this severe.. It took 3 years to heal.. The so called medical professionals also said she would never breathe on her own. Next month will be 11 years and she is definitely much more aware now after sleeping at night with relaxing brain music.. I also am able to hypnotize her and get her in a deep state of sleep.. She's trying to talk.. I need help in learning the tools to get her to try and talk..

Hello Lesley- I am sorry you have some paralysis :(. Beleive it or not, I think very good breath support can help quite a bit, to get your voice heard better. I wonder if you could be sure you are taking good breaths and supporting your voice with your core muscles and sing very short notes along with music you hear (not trying to hold them out?) I have watched people I get to work with go from not understandable to understandable doing this.
Ok. I am very curious to see if these exercises work. I currently care for a young lady that's been brain dead for 8 years until 2 years ago when i started helping her during the overnight hours.. I took it upon myself to use soothing and relaxing music and giving her raw eggnog at night. She has made remarkable improvements since she has been getting full nights of sleep.. I want some feedback and help.. She is trying to speak..

Hello love! One thing you could try for stammering is: say a word you want: and tap out the syllables in a rhythm as you do. So "Hello" would get 2 taps ("hell- o"). Can be separate and deliberate- the rhythm makes it fun and easy and I think could really help. Let me know if it does!
