What should patients do concerning the repetition of SPEAK OUT! components during therapy sessions?

Completing all six components during therapy sessions is essential because each component of the SPEAK OUT! program is designed to build upon one another, reinforcing skills that are crucial for effective communication. The structured approach ensures that patients practice various aspects of speech and voice, facilitating a comprehensive improvement in their communicative abilities.

Skipping components may hinder progress by leaving gaps in skill development, while focusing solely on difficult components might neglect other areas needing attention. Changing components weekly could disrupt the continuity of practice that is vital for internalizing techniques and strategies. Therefore, consistently completing all components helps in developing a well-rounded and robust communication strategy for patients.
