Hi everyone I’m am struggling at the moment with my PD it is . Affecting my speech. Quite bad to the point where I’m unable to communicate with almost anyone through my speech and I have been with the speech and language therapist and they have not been able to help me with my speech?
Apart from an. Speech app on my.phone of which isn’t too bad but can be limiting for when you need to speak to someone on the phone!!

Hi Stuart, don’t know if your speech therapist explain that your tongue is a muscle, and to produce the sounds it has to hit the back of your teeth, sounds a bit crazy I know, so slow down your speach and and practice producing the sounds with your tongue
Hope this helps
