One client in particular tends to mumble, speak very quickly and doesn't tend to use full words.

I am an activities co-ordinator for a CIC (a not for profit organisation) called E.L.I.T.E who promote independent living for adults 16 and over who are less able or disabled. I deal with many people ranging from people with autism to learning difficulties to cerebal palsy. A few of my clients have problems with their speech. Once client in particular tends to mumble, speak very quickly and doesn't tend to use full words. He also stutters quite a bit. I know you work more with children, but wondered if you had any general advice for me to help him with his speech and to help others going forward? I am starting a numeracy and literacy class also, so could perhaps use techniques in these classes?
Many Thanks in Advance
