AISHWARYA, 33, California; Tamil/English, an Electrical Engineer works in AI. Stutter age 9, severe, most words in most conversations. She has used many of our Methods and no longer appears clearly to stutter, BUT her speech is too choppy. Her current Speech Plan (Short-Pronunciation-Modulation etc.) is not working. She is NOT stopping long enough and is NOT LINKING. We drill both. Her speech is then smooth as silk. Urge: LINK-SHORT and keep hand on tummy to make sure it is hard (hence pushing enough air). She does this beautifully. She is a natural smiler, which helps a lot.
