[@kristinashepherd3003]

This is a great video and I sincerely appreciate that you provide this kind of information. ❤

[@beyondhighc]

Thank you Kristina :) !

[@joshb7857]

I want to say thank you for your videos. My wife suffered a major stroke last week and could only say hi and nothing else. Within 4 min with your videos she was able to clearly talk to 8 and a hour later able to do entire ABC's.

[@beyondhighc]

I hope your wife is getting some great care and support with her recovery! Thank you so much for your comment! If the videos are helping, I am really thrilled!

[@jcmullins3871]

Really enjoy your teaching. I am 55 and have been battling Parkinson's Disease since I was 17 years old. Yes, 38 years and for my Aphasia is the worst of everything I have dealt with

[@beyondhighc]

Holy smokes that's a lot to deal with! I am so glad you enjoy these videos and I hope they are helpful to you! A lot of people make big progress in my classes- you could come see if you like: beyondhighc.com/contact-us/

[@sdpuri4126]

This a great contribution! Highly appreciated✨

[@beyondhighc]

Well I highly appreciate your great comment! Thank you SO much 😉​❤​

[@lesleyrichards1088]

C anti get the 4-5 with my hand. I am too slow. Will keep trying. I think the messages are slow from the brain to my limbs.

[@beyondhighc]

A lot of people in my classes have this challenge- but saying the numbers on time- with a little practice over a little time they are faster! I vote you keep trying. You can slow it down- do you know how?

[@melindalao4442]

I struggle with the speed but i finished the activity wth you. Thank you so much❤

[@beyondhighc]

I like hearing these updates Melinda! Keep it up! ❤🎉

[@angelpatton3851]

You can slow videos down if you click the white gear icon on the bottom of the video.. if you're watching on a phone or tablet, tap the video screen, the white gear is upper right hand corner. ♥

[@normabernal6676]

Thanks for the videos ❤🙏 God Bless You

[@beyondhighc]

Oh Norma, thank you so much. God bless you too 🙏 ❤

[@lesleyrichards1088]

I can’t quite keep up with the beat, can I show it down?

[@beyondhighc]

You can slow it down yes! There is a white gear button in the bottom right of the video. Clocking that will give you an option to adjust the speed.

[@TimLubben]

This is wonderful!

[@beyondhighc]

Thank you Tim! Would more like this be helpful then? :)

[@terilyngallegos788]

I am so happy😊 I just found you. My brother had a stroke. He cannot speak or sometimes comprehend. But he sang a verse to a song perfectly. But I think he's embarrassed. Cuz he doesn't recognize colors either. I hope your video will help. He had the stroke sept of 22. I took him out of the facility he was in. They did not help him with any therapy. Is it to late.

[@beyondhighc]

Oh Teri, I am so glad you found my channel. In my experience, it is NOT TOO LATE! I see people make a lot of progress, who had a stroke long ago! The embarassement is common I am afraid. That's a big part of why my class works, because people can get coached through the nerves, fear and embarassement so they can communicate better even when those feelings threaten to silence them ❤​. I hope you will free to fill this in if you would like to talk about specifc ways to help him improve ​👍 beyondhighc.com/contact-us/ He's lucky to have you on his team and I do think videos on KZbin, setting a goal and some daily practice can help ​🗣​💪​!

[@malik-aphasia]

[@KeystoMYBeamer]

I did not experience a stroke, but I have MS. Your videos are very helpful.

[@beyondhighc]

Oh I appreciate that very much. Thank you for telling me this! So glad you found me :)

[@sanjaybahal2572]

Thanks kiersten, you give me hope

[@beyondhighc]

This makes my New Year, thank you so much for saying that. I am very happy you are hopeful (as you should be :) .

[@TimeForStrive]

I felt activity in my efected side of brain at the beginning. Around my ear area. 12345 was the strongest. Even opened my nose at my effected side. Which I'm thinking is connected to why I couldn't smell good in the past

[@beyondhighc]

That is encouraging! Will be interesting to see if different rhythms affect you differently. Thank you for watching!

[@jospehinekanny6062]

It’s very interesting

[@beyondhighc]

Glad you think so- even since I recorded this video, I have seen rhythm play a big part in speech improvement for a many people! Thank you for your thought!

[@moa4319]

Thanks for this aphasia is not something mentioned much...

[@beyondhighc]

You are welcome! I would like to try to spread the word yes  🗣 👍.

[@Ace-gc8tn]

Can this help with boxer speech issues?

[@beyondhighc]

Good question. I will say in my experience I have seen people improve A LOT when they concentrate on forming certain sounds and words intentionally over a short period of time. I would say repetion is an important piece- so if you choose a challenge and focus on working that alone for a short period of time, you should be very happy with the progress- like forming the sound "b" makes, for example. Every day say "B" - look and listen to see if it's coming out well. Try words that start wtih "b" next 😀 .

[@Ace-gc8tn]

@@beyondhighc do you have a program that could help me or have any videos you can send me?

[@beyondhighc]

@@Ace-gc8tn We have a program of live classes + sessions via Zoom- low cost, no commitment + you can try free- can email me: [e-mail] hope you will  🤞

[@dawnstephens9538]

I am a stroke survivor do you suggest anything for dysarthria

[@beyondhighc]

Hello Dawn ​🤗​ I have seen this work well for my participants with dysarthria: a disciplined routine of a quick warm up to start the day with a breath support exercise + and articulator exercise + a short mantra to try to remember as you talk through the day. Then a mindful discipline to pace yourself as you speak (so your artculators have a little extra chance to keep up with your thoughts). I hope this helps- I will put this into my notes about upcoming videos. If you want a short personalized warm up video, please email me at [e-mail]

[@martyyochumcasey6621]

Kiersten do uou practice on line video live sessions.?

[@martyyochumcasey6621]

Imlove what hou are doing with thr voice exercises.

[@beyondhighc]

Yes! I have live Zoom sessions! You can see at beyondhighc.com/ Happy to explain on Zoom with you if you like 👍

[@kelliaustin7130]

This is nice but I can't find the letters to Sing along with the Ireland song, I can't write the name of the song🙃

[@beyondhighc]

Okay Kelli- thank you for telling me- let me see what I can do…

[@lesleyrichards1088]

I don’t know how to slow it down

[@jriversford]

How do you treat stuttering and Stroke speech difficulty

[@beyondhighc]

Good question- I’ll have to ask my speech therapist friends 👍. I don’t treat anyone, I do exercises and help people practice. I will say, I firmly believe a calm, intentional breath and giving yourself some grace and an extra moment can be a big help with stuttering. I hope you try that and let me know 🙏.
