I find it very relaxing to sing and to use my body (dancing, relaxation etc). But I can't say it helped me with my speech. On the other hand, I do speak better when using gestures. The therapy Marija refers to is the Del Ferro therapy. A variant to that one is the McGuire therapy. In the Netherlands some use a therapy called the Hausdörfer, where you sing your speech. They also have a therapy (De Pauw?) where you concentrate on certain gestures while speaking. You can contact the Dutch Association at mailto:j.kagie@wxs.nl for more information.
