There is no speech therapy here.
Nothing on this site is clinical, and nothing here constitutes a diagnosis.
King George VI was famously assisted with his lifelong stammer by Lionel Logue.
At his home, Lionel displayed a simple plaque:
L. Logue, Speech Defects
He had no formal clinical qualifications.
Today, the rules governing clinical professionals, diagnoses, and medical outcomes are strict—and with good cause.
So, you might ask: “Matt, what do I call you?”
You can go with Matt, Captain, My Captain, dude, or whatever works for you.
If you need a label, call me a “Meaning Coach.” Let’s go with that. I am deeply interested in understanding the load-bearing attributes of language.
If you want to know my qualifications, here is some stuff: I hold a degree in English and Psychology, alongside a Diploma in Higher Education.
I have been a teacher, a platoon commander during conscription, and a college lecturer.
I have conducted adult literacy classes and waded through dozens of corporate boardrooms, listening to terrible language and communication failures.
I took excellent notes. And still do.
My plaque simply reads:
M. le Roux – openairtalk.com
That is sufficient.
