Hi, Chad. I went some years ago, and found it helpful to a degree, but
really no more so than any other speech therapy. Even my last day there I
had trouble w/my Ds...They give you "targets" like any other speech
therapy...maybe it's worth a shot. If you're amenable to a medicinal
approach I found that Zyprexa (olanzapine) helps me out a great deal, but of
course there are possible side effects. I'm not saying it's a cure-all for
everyone; I just mention it as an option to consider. I believe studies have
found that olanzapine combined with speech therapy gets the best results.
Good luck.

Thanks for getting back to me. I did have success with Zyprexa on Dr.
Maguire's program, but the side effects were less than desirable.
Apparently there is a new med they add to it that offsets the weight
gain, so maybe it's worth another go.

Did you find that what you learned at Hollins continued to help after
leaving the program? I've heard that after a few months people tend to
go back to their normal speech patterns. And that's a lot of money to
waste if so.

Thanks again.

Chad

I suggest if I may that you be sure that you are checked regularly for
diabetes, which is a known and frequent side effect of olanzapine
(Zyprexa) over and above its propensity to cause weight gain - at least
for people afflicted with schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder.

Hi, Chad. I don't find that what I learned at Hollins helps, no. I find that
what I learned over the many years of speech therapy helps, especially easy
onset and continuous phonation.
