Challenge Words - a speech practice and speech enhancing exercise program on DVD

Challenge Words includes more difficult words for speech practice. It first teaches special breathing exercises that pump oxygen into the brain and and relax the person to avoid getting nervous while attempting new speech. In addition, a new Sensory Trigger Technique called brachiation is demonstrated. The exercises can be done independently or with the help of an assistant or family member depending on the abilities and condition of the person doing them. The DVD program allows you to use your television to learn these techniques and practice the Challenge Words. For more information please call the toll free number at 877-835-3157 or 845-382-9205.
