This Ataxic Dysarthria Toastmaster continues to get better!! :-). I have done 18 5-7 minute Toastmaster speeches and this month, taught a six-session 12 hour job search workshop (like I did pre-stroke)! So there! People now say I sound like I have a \"swedish\" or German Accent (because I over-enunciate), rather than sounding like a \"drunk\" with slurred words, like a year ago. That's a promotion - better a foreigner than a drunk! And I am understood pretty much everywhere - even on the phone and in noisy places! The attached speech was totally spoken without notes, totally off the cuff<\/p>\n
