Speech





Av started another speech. Aquatic therapy. It's pretty cool. To her it's just playing in the pool but here is the thought process behind it.

The water provides sustained compression to support diaphragmatic movement, ribcage and lung expansion with more midline control as the extremities can move easier with the voice projecting louder with more forceful voicing and clearer articulation. The water also serves to support the head for better positioning to provide trunk, neck, jaw, tongue support for more intelligible articulation.
