Hi Debbie! I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke and the progressive speech difficulties. I hope you find the videos on this channel to be a helpful resource. Comments like yours really keep me motivated to keep creating and sharing knowledge, so thanks for taking the time to write. 🙌

I am not familiar with any research using this exercise specifically for PD. Unlike stroke, dysphagia in PD degenerates with disease progression. This article suggests a few treatment options specific for PD, including expiratory muscle strength training: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6995701/

It's my pleasure! You are so very welcome!

ha! rock on 🤘

@@SpeechSecrets Can we hang out? You'd be pleased

Hello there fellow speechie!

This is definitely a hard exercise to master. I’ve never thought about the effect that tongue splitting would have with that muscle function/control. Keep me posted on if it gets any easier as you continue to practice!

How interesting!

Yes actually! Tongue stretching has been shown to have an impact on tongue length. You can refer to this article: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5702816/#:~:text=The%20change%20in%20tongue%20length,method%20to%20increase%20tongue%20length.

Hi Mistro. Thanks for sharing your experience. Seems like you have very good body awareness and I applaud you for looking for resources to heal and learn from. Hope you find the information here helpful for your body journey. 🙌

ha! Thank you for the compliments, you made my day!

@@SpeechSecrets You're welcome. Your video made my day too.

You're welcome 😊

ha! you’re welcome 💪

Great awareness! Yes it can be challenging to keep your jaw stable and keep the movement isolated to the tongue.

Thanks for your kind words Yvonne. I'm so glad you're finding it helpful. The music is actually from one of my former band mates!

what a compliment! thanks!

Hi Melissa! I'm so sorry to hear about the struggles with eating. Eating food is such a big factor for quality of life. I would highly recommend that you see a speech therapist who can make specific recommendations for your case and anatomical differences. Many swallow exercises aim to help out the epiglottic movement. Without this structure in place, airway protection is significantly compromised.

You're so welcome!

Wow Kiba. So glad I could be a resource for you. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

Hi Ledi. I’m so sorry to hear about your hubby and his stroke. Glad you are finding this resource helpful. Make sure to check out the aphasia therapy at home videos with singing, phrase completion and automatics too. Wishing him much healing. ❤️‍🩹

The target audience for this video is dysarthria and mumbling, not stuttering. Slowing rate and taking pauses can be beneficial for individuals with a stammer, however over articulation of consonants is not a helpful strategy for this population. In fact, it’s the opposite of an approach for stuttering used called light articulation contacts.

Awwww glad you think so!! Do you have a harmonica or play music?

Hi Ray! Thank you so much for asking. Funny you ask, I was just brainstorming today as I was driving how to put together an online course for aphasia, dysarthria etc. Can you tell me a little more what you're looking for?

This is not a tongue thrusting exercise video although some exercises may overlap with tongue thrusting treatment.

I'm not a therapist but wondering how you are doing with that? Myself was getting something similar but more in the throat. Finding things that help..

Thanks for the request! I would like to do a sound series in the future including “r”!

You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed. Please let me know what you are finding most helpful.

not yet!

So should we wait? We need it so much

I have no immediate plans for videos on this topic but hope you’re able to find a good resource elsewhere. Feel free to share it if you do!

You are very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment. It really helps keep me motivated hearing from those find it beneficial. You might enjoy the most recent video "Speak More Clearly" if you haven't checked that one out already.

🙌 Thanks for sharing this. It makes me so happy to hear. Sending blessings to you both!

so glad you are finding it helpful for yourself!

You're so welcome! Glad you thought so!

Hi STT99! I cannot make any person specific recommendations legally. There are many factors involved with speech which can cause slurred speech and a full evaluation is required to identify which exercises or strategies best suit an individual. Tongue strength and range of motion is one of those factors involved with speech. Good for you for looking for resources to help your speech goals. I do hope you find my videos helpful and you may consider looking through my clear speech series that I am currently adding to. This is the most recent video on speech strategies and speech clarity: ua-cam.com/video/KwUe9i24KSA/v-deo.html

@@SpeechSecrets Thank you for your beautiful words ♥ I downloaded all the videos on your channel and I will practice them - I was looking for such exercises for Arabs and did not find them, so I searched in English and your channel appeared and I liked them.

Hey Nuzwardy! Hopefully it was a good challenge? Which part was most challenging for you?

Thanks for the feedback Yvette! I really appreciate it. So glad you're finding this helpful, keep it up!

hi Shawn! no sound specific videos out yet but perhaps in the future!

Thanks for sharing! I hope you’re able to work with an individual speech therapist to tease out which factors are impacting your fluency. Blessings to you and kudos for seeking resources to help yourself.

Hi Kessup! I'm so sorry to hear about the nerve damage and your recent radiation/chemo. Have you spoken to your medical provider about this and asked for a speech therapy referral? I hope you are seeing some improvement. I am legally restricted from making any person specific medical recommendations but I do hope that you find these videos helpful and are able to get the medical support you need.
