People have always said that I am more articulate in text rather than verbally.
When calling someone, I tend to jumble all my words together. I am thinking too fast and the words don\’t come out as smoothly as they would on paper (or screen). What\’s horrible is that when I try to tell people about my ideas, it comes out as a dizzying rollercoaster. And then when I write e-mails, everything is organized into paragraphs.
It\’s interesting that speech therapy only works on ennuciating the proper sounds, but they don\’t focus on teaching how to articulate thoughts clearly and succintly.
my voiced words tend to be tangled and disorganized. my written words are getting increasingly chaotic. ack. :\\
btw, did you check your box? :)
SEE? I COMMENT!!! =D We\’re on for lunch when you get back from CMU

I\’ve worked with people in doing that – getting their thoughts out clearly – but it\’s always been with people who\’ve been able to before a stroke or somthing, I\’m not done it with others… and the way our health system is in Au, I doubt there\’d be funding for it for kids/adolencents etc
I know that for people with Broca\’s aphasia usually by stroke, they\’re taught to sing since it uses different parts of the brain. Not sure how that will help the normal every day person. Maybe?
