2 Best Ways to Fix a Lateral Lisp

Parents, are you concerned about your child’s lisp? Is it a lateral lisp? If so, speech therapy is needed because lateral lisps are not developmental. Meaning, your child may not outgrow it on their own.

Watch the video to learn what a lateral lisp is, and 2 ways to help your child get rid of a lateral lisp.

Speech therapy online helps.

Life saver! I had a lateral lisp because no one told me about tongue placement, never knew your tongue was supposed to be placed behind your front teeth, always thought it had to be pressing against your right teeth, and no one ever corrected me. Managed to fix it in a week but sometimes I have to stop subconsciously placing my tongue on the right side due to old habits.

For my whole life I have been dealing with my lateral lisp, I absolutely hated it and it destroy my social confidence, this video is making me recover and my airflow is coming out of the front, I really thank you for this video as it’s repairing something that’s been a pain in my backside for my whole lifetime

I am a voice teacher (singing and public speaking), and I loved this video to help one of my teen singing clients with a lateral lisp. Thank you!

Hello, really nice video you have. I have a slight problem, whenever i try to make a sound touching the ridges on my mouth roof i can't make any S sound sounds its just sounds like im blowing air and someitmes its a bit similar to 'th'. Please could you give me any advice? Thanks.

Speech therapy has come such a long way since I was a kid! I ended up just having to figure it out on my own since my speech therapist focused on teeth placement, not tongue placement. I'm better than when I was a kid, but still get asked what "accent" I have. Would going back to speech therapy help make my lateral list go away completely? Or is it impossible to hide all evidence of it? I know I shouldn't be but I'm very self-conscious of it. And if I start getting overly excited about something I get twisted up with my tongue and my lateral lisp becomes more apparent

Hiya I’m a teen from the UK and your videos have helped me so much with my lisp subsequently helped me so much social anxiety! I especially love the exploding T technique however I have one issue, what technique would you recommend for pronouncing the x and k sound properly with a lisp, as it makes a really gushy sound with my lisp when I try and say it??

[JG-mckr]

this is p embarassing but...i am 33 and am trying to (finally) fix my lateral lisp and although i can do the Tttt method and make a proper S sound, i am finding that i am over pronouncing the S sound when i read a book out loud...what can i do to fix this?

Can you help with how to correct lateral lisp with SH? My client knows how to do /s/ without lateralizing but for some reason they CANT connect the dots with sh. Is their tongue supposed to be in a diff spot ?

As someone within that age range, I am also planning on or currently working on reading Fourth Wing, Six of Crows, Shatter Me, A Good Girls Guide to Murder, Powerless, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.


Ones that i have already read and def recommend are Girl in Pieces, The Inheritance Games, Heartstopper, Divergent, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Anne of Green Gables, Lord of the Flies, and Cujo.

Some of these are not for that age range, like Girl in Pieces (Generally recommended for 18+) and Cujo (Also intended for adults), but it all depends on maturity and what you're allowed to read.

Could you please show how to use the straw again. Please do a closeup of your mouth with the straw. Couldn't see how you blew out with the straw in this video. Should the straw be placed inside the teeth? Please show a closeup of the method with the straw. Thanks.

[alinoorie]

Thank you so much. Can you please provide the placement of the tongue to avoid lateral list? My tongue feels heavy and I accumulate a lot of saliva when making a proper S and Z sound. Can you please recommend anything to avoid this?

Im 32 and is very insecure of my lateral lisp.

[TimmyGamingYT]

I have a slight problem on how to follow the tutorial because my air flow is diagonal and i cant let air out on the left and middle because of my jaw shape, does this mean im stuck with my (diagonal) lisp?

[ambidadadada]

what about a slushy 'sh' sound??

[v.xien.]

I’m confused. When I say words and s sounds it comes out from the front but when I listen to recordings of my voice it still sounds like a lateral lisp. What’s wrong with me? I’m cursed lmao. I also have a very small mouth as an adult have to use kids toothbrushes 😭 is that the problem?

[twilightstories]

I’m 14 and I have a slight s lisp and a prevalent r lisp, should I see a speech therapist? Or is my voice still maturing?

[Bob_]

I am late to comment but i have a question.During the straw test i saw that air is flowing only from my right side of the mouth.I want to know if that is improvement or just a bigger problem.I have developed this for years now and i usually say the "s" sound but a "h" sound can be heard right after it.Thank you
