Did you know that the single most helpful thing that you can tell someone whose lips you are trying to read (aside from the need to look at you) is to SLOW DOWN!! This both gives the speaker more time to say what he/she wants to tell you (the extra time allows them to speak better), and gives you more time to understand and process what they are saying.
To learn more about speechreading, please click here to send an email to Linda Kessler at the Shelley and Steven Einhorn Communication Center at the Center for Hearing and Communication. Or you can phone Linda at (917) 305-7838.
