I have poor speech and what can I do for myself to improve my speech
I've had poor speech ever since I could start talking. Only had speech therapy when i was in the second grade. My speech problem consists of missing some letters in certain words like "fruit". when I talk to fast , it comes out sounding like " fuit".I'm turning 21 this year and determine to fix my speech problem for my future endeavours. I wanna become a Chef but need to be well spoken so my co- workers could understand what I'm saying. Money is tight so can't afford a speech therapist so what can I do to fix this problem on my own?
Answer:I work in a speech tx office and I know how it is impossible to get insurance to pay for therapy services. You could try a letter of medical necessity from your primary care doctor in which case therapy may become covered under your insurance. However, if you really don't want to go back to therapy, first step I would suggest is taking a look at your grammar; "I've had poor speech ever since I could start talking" (I have had poor speech since the time I began speaking) is an example of poor grammar and simply improving your grammar can be a big start to your problem. Best of luck to you.
If you have a computer then windows xp along with ms office 2003 comes with a speech reconizing program if you do not pronuance the word right it will right it wrong, by just using a microphone u can take a book and start reading it, do this over and over till the program reconizes the correct sentance coming out of your month.
