[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter graduated out of speech years ago and is now a rising 9th grader.  She is very verbal and talkative (although shy) but her dramatic style of speech [b]and sometimes halting manner of speech [/b]interrupt otherwise funny, interesting comments.  Is there a way to work on this? I feel like I'm constantly giving her social pointers (with very little success) so I don't want to start pointing out things she could work on speech wise unless there are really techniques that help with this.... any ideas?[/quote]

What kind of speech therapy did she have?  My DD was diagnosed with atypical disfluency, which is basically a mid-sentence stutter that impacts the fluency of her speech.  If you did not have a speech therapist specializing in stuttering, then it might be worth it to try a new one if she does have disfluency -- we were in speech therapy for 2 years for articulation, but then switched to a new therapist once we realized she was having trouble getting her sentences out smoothly.[/quote]
