Dear smart, funny, sensitive, and supportive friends,

Conversation is the best speech therapy. Burke views talking with Linda as a way to show what she knows, thinks, and feels. Conversation can reveal and acknowledge her competence, Burke says. Thinking about talking in this way has helped her. She is far more fluent and confident than she was before we got serious about Burke work.

Good things to do:

Provide extra time for Linda to process what you are saying and extra time to respond.

Keep explanations short and simple, but also adult. Compound sentences (strings of ideas connected with conjunctions) compound communication difficulties and make it less likely she’ll understand and make you appear boring and are not a great thing to do and sometimes make anybody forget what the beginning of the sentence was about.

Keep your voice at a normal volume. This may be impossible for this group.

Use gestures with the ease but not the extravagance of an Italian.
