Do you do anything to prepare? Do you practice the speech perhaps by reading out loud or working with someone? Do you have any specific techniques which you find helpful during the delivery of a speech before an audience?Orahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560420178241698669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-29352710020254347942010-03-15T14:14:11.138+01:002010-03-15T14:14:11.138+01:00To Gustaf,

For those who keep on stuttering it is staying permanently lower.<br /><br />Both groups develop behavioural and cognitive reactions to jams in the brain, but the group that recovers only has jams for a brief period.Tom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-51221581941314011112010-03-12T20:20:49.948+01:002010-03-12T20:20:49.948+01:00Tom - You pose the question as "why do most c...Tom - You pose the question as "why do most children recover?"<br /><br />I would approach it from a different angle: "Why do some children pass through a period of stuttering?"<br /><br />Your formulation takes stuttering as a baseline, and wonders why there's a change from the baseline. My formulation takes normal speech as a baseline, and wonders why some children temporarily diverge from the baseline.Orahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560420178241698669noreply@blogger.com
