Remember to use your "slow speech" or "breathy speech" while you are at home. Ideas for Practice: 1) Take some time out of you day to tell a story to a family member or somebody in your house using your slow speech. 2) When you are playing with any of your toys, try using your smooth speech technique. 3) Talk about a movie, 4) Talk about a video game you enjoy playing, 5) Request a snack6) Read a book7) Call a family member
There are so many opportunities during the day to try to use those smooth speech techniques. Practice whenever you can!
