"If my possessions would be taken from me with one exception I would choose to keep the power of communication, for by it, I would soon regain all the rest."
~Daniel Webster As a speech-language pathologist, I absolutely love this quote! It truly illustrates the critical nature of our ability to communicate. Many of us do not comprehend the value of our communicative abilities until they are compromised, or even lost completely. At Speech By The Beach Consulting LLC in Naples, Florida, we strive to provide clients access to their highest level of communicative abilities. Whether this is related to speech, voice, word-finding or even public speaking, it is our mission to enhance and restore your communication. With the power of effective communication, anything is possible. Did you know that children's books have a third more rare vocabulary words than an adult television show, and twice as many vocabulary words than are found in college students' conversations??
This further emphasizes the importance of reading to children! Please call Speech By The Beach Consulting LLC at 239.631.1988 for speech therapy in Naples, Florida.
