Half to full day sessions can also be catered for.

How long will the training take?

It is very difficult to anticipate how long training will take. Firstly, it depends on the area or areas of communication being targeted. Generally progress is dependent on a number of factors:

The level that you start at
The level you want to get to
How well you hear different sounds/understand new concepts
How well you can copy
Most importantly, how much you practise outside of your training sessions
How well you can remember new sounds, concepts or structures
Your ability to slow down your speech so you can think about not only what you want to say, but how you say it.
How strong your awareness is in everyday conversations

Remember, changing any behaviour or habit takes time. Communication is a highly automatic response that we are retraining. Think about exercising you have done to become fit- this involves gross body movements. What we are doing is an exercise program involving your brain, your voice box and your muscles of articulation at least. We are changing from your automatic communication style to deliberate planned responses. It DOES take time and practice to make this new communication pattern an automatic response.
