Speech Therapy Quotes

“Speech therapy is an art that deserves to be more widely known. You cannot imagine the acrobatics your tongue mechanically performs in order to produce all the sounds of a language.”
― Jean-Dominique Bauby

“The woman spoke with a heavy western North Carolina accent, which I used to discredit her authority. Here was a person for whom the word 'pen' had two syllables. He people undoubtedly drank from clay jugs and hollered for Paw when the vittles were ready-- so who was she to advise me on anything?”
― David Sedaris, Me Talk Pretty One Day

“To communicate is truly a gift. It is a wondrous ability of your amazing human body, the ability that allows us to connect with other humans to give meaning to our lives. I will argue that it is what makes us human.”
― Kathleen Depperschmidt, The Tip of Your Tongue: A Speech Therapist Tribute to the Power of Communication Lost and Found

“The beauty of children is in their adaptation, we must nurture their spirit and never put limits on their potential; the plan we have for them may be the very thing that limits them. Never forget they are whole as they are, we are the ones that have to learn to listen differently.”
― Dana Hall LCPC, MA, TF-CBT

“You should listen to how often other people pause, take a quick breath, and go on with their sentence. (This is not that easy. You are accustomed to listening to what people say and not the behavioral details of how they say it.) You'll see how normal and easy the quick breath is. Try to imitate someone who seems to have good control of their phrasing and air supply. Be especially mindful of the ease of hearing the words at the end of their sentences.”
― Coral Fleming

“Stuttering is more of a thing of the mind, than that of the tongue”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, Stamerenophobia
