Yeah, I'm seeing a speech therapist. We don't spend that much time together, though. I had a couple individual sessions with her in the beginning...but now I only see her when she runs a class with multiple clients. The class usually consists of memory strategies and cognitive work-arounds.

My speech expression has actually declined over the months. I'm still not sure why...They are thinking about kicking me out of the NCEP program because I'm not improving. I was told that I'm showing backwards progress. My counselor told me that they get paid based upon client improvements. Its a program that is paid for by the government. Its a non-profit organization, too, and if they don't produce results with you...you get cut off.

I'm getting scared/frustrated because I keep having permanent declines with my speech and expression. It usually happens after a stressful event or overstimulation. I rest and I rest and it doesn't get better...just stays the same. Then, a couple months later, I have another decline.

In response to it being mild, I guess your right. However, it feels so much more severe to me. My brain really struggles to put together sentences and stuff...without it coming out wrong. I'm also very quiet when I have a really bad day. So, people don't notice me making any mistakes.

My search for answers continues...

Thanks for your response,

Nick
