Most adolescents consider juggling to be much more difficult.
Imagine their motivation when they learn to juggle one, two and eventually three balls. They have just joined the small fraternity of jugglers and have experienced success in an activity that they once considered extremely difficult. The motivation gained from learning how to juggle transfers into motivation regarding their speech. In the initial weeks of therapy, they focus more on their progress with juggling. It is easy to monitor progress in this area but often difficult for adolescents to identify progress with their speech, especially in the early stages.
