• Be aware of your own concerns or questions about the speech before the appointment. You will work with the speech assistant to establish the goals of the session.
• You and the speech assistant will go through your basic outline or speech notes, focus on areas needing improvement. The speech assistant can help with anything from polishing outline techniques and organization strategies to explaining delivery methods.
