Computer Activities for Those With Speech and Language Difficulties?
An anonymous reader writes "My girlfriend is training to be a speech and language therapist here in the UK (speech pathologist in the US). A number of clients are guys who enjoy playing computer games, and for a variety of reasons some have no incentive to try and improve their speech. The issue is, this can obviously inhibit options for jobs and/or other aspects of life. I was trying to think of fun computer-based activities for those with speech and language difficulties that encourage individuals to speak, and furthermore to speak with greater clarity. Or games/activities that might encourage them to do more speech work. The first options that sprang to mind were the online games with team-speak / team-talk for those with mild difficulties. The sampling / accent issue might force them to speak with greater clarity or wish to have that ability. Obviously, they can just type. Any thoughts?"
Let them spend several months living in a cardboard box after their parents are dead and they lose the house. It might give them an incentive to move up to human from humanoid underground basement dweller.
I'd go on a Vegan diet but the delivery time from Vega is too long. --brownkitty
Put your "oh oh" in my "oh oh."
Well, just drop the poncy British accent and learn to talk regular, you limey fuck. I mean, geez, I know the Brits like to whine shrilly about their damn problems to everyone (this, besides the fact that they're hideously ugly, being the main reason British women are unmarriageable), but when your retarded problems are your own damn fault I don't know why you think anybody is going to have any sympathy for you, or even give two shits.
