Mallory, I would really like to have some speech therapy...my doctor hasn't recommended it, however, says Kaiser won't pay for it. (nation's largest HMO for whom I also work). I've read about the Lee Silverman Technique but haven't tried it. If anyone can put me onto a good speech therapist in Portland OR, I'd be very interested. My speech problems are speaking too softly mainly...but sometimes I also get a bit tongue tied. Cheers, Brenda Mallory Dillon wrote: > Hi.
