Dejections

Talking properly is problematic (as long as those duties are not vital to the job, an available place for the member of staff to go to be alone for quiet time to help reduce the difficulties of the job, rest breaks to prevent stimulus overload and fatigue, job restructuring, part-time or modified work schedules, reassignment to a different position, acquisition or modification or workplace equipment or devices, training materials or policies in baille or a simplified language, provision of readers or interpreters (disability rights center). Often times, an agreement is reached which will allow the individual to return to work on a gradual basis as their strengths and abilities increase. For example, if the individual is having a tricky time remembering what tasks to do, it may be recommended that they carry a notebook to write down what is asked of them. This allows them to perform the tasks of their job and gain confidence while alleviating the frustrations and burden from the employer.

Clear Speech: Training

• Every time we communicate we have an opportunity to practice
• Talking clearly was in component based on pronunciation. Its the appropriate use of vocal cords, mouth, tongue, lungs and your head
• Indistinct speech can result from slurring phrases, speaking inside a muffled voice, running phrases together, dropping endings and just failure to enunciate words or groups of words

Tense Voice, Big Pitch

• One is when we are tense; our vocal cords like other muscles in the body tighten up. The result can be described as higher pitched voice. Although ours may be a technically clear vocalization, the apprehension when felt by the audience results in distraction from your message.
• It is when you talk with the throat muscles tensed and the voice is projected from lower in the neck. It happens when there is not enough air in the lungs to make the speech organs work properly.
• What does it sound like? What does it feel like? That is a distressed voice. The solution is simple, just breathe. Breathe adequate for your speaking. Clear speech requires adequate lungs
• Slurring words and phrases or running them together will be the result of a learned behavior or cultural behavior. It also contains dropping syllables indiscriminately or as being a cultural norm. These need to be corrected to to converse well and distinctly.
