The following Tips may helps the individual to speak difficult words. May be some speech therapist will guide us more.
Speak slowly.
Look at the person while you are talking. A well-lit room enhances face-to-face conversation, increasing intelligibility.
Use short phrases – say one or two words or syllables per breath.
Over-articulate your speech by prolonging the vowels and exaggerating the consonants.
Choose a comfortable posture and position that provide support during long and stressful conversations.
Be aware that exercises intended to strengthen weakening muscles may be counter-productive.
Plan periods of vocal rest before planned conversations.
Know that fatigue significantly affects your speaking ability. Techniques that work in the morning may not work later in the day.
If you are on a respirator (with fully inflated cuffs), an electrolarynx or respiratory tube that provides an alternative air source may be used.
