I’ve had lateral lisp for seventeen years already and this video just taught me how to properly say the s sound… you’re the freakin best

[biancawalker]

As an adult I watch your videos and use them to practice daily, thanks so much for these tools!

[johanncuellar]

I am a 37 mom of three and have been self conscious of my lisp my whole life. my 5 year old is presenting with a different type of "s" therapy need that you also address in another video. I can't thank you enough! I will work on me and be able to help my child at the same time. bless you

[brielewis]

This video is already helping me so much with my little! She doesn’t have a lateral “s” instead hers comes out through her nose. We’ve been trying to correct it for a while now! I think this might just be the trick we needed ❤ thank you!!

[soraka]

I just automatically go back into blowing the air out of the sides. it's like I have no idea how to even make the S sound in the front. my lisp sometimes makes me so conscious sometimes I can cry

[caseybrown]

I love this video! I provide intervention as an SLPA for a 4th grader with a lisp and we worked on the exploding T today and after a few trials, he started to get it! He even said "ohhhh that's how it is supposed to sound!" Thank you so much!

[rconscious]

Such a nice, helpful video, and your daughter is such a little angel

[BurritoBandit-et]

thank you so much this helped so much as soon i heard my s turn normal i just started jumping in joy

[deedranicolehooks]

Thank you! My 3 year old has a lateral lisp. I've asked her pediatrician about it, and she was unconcerned. BUT I worry that early intervention is neccessary. This video give me some tools to help her work on that s sound from home until we are able to get some help.

Super useful and so clearly explained - thank you! Looking forward to trying out the techniques with my 4 year old

[incelticknots]

Love the straw tip, I think my son will love it :)

[valerieutley]

This is great! Thank you for posting this! My 6 year old has a lateral lisp and I have been looking for ideas to work with him this summer.

[defaultyboi]

I feel like I have a nonslurpy S but it comes through the side like a Latrell S

[donnasalvo]

Thanks for these.. I am giving you credit and sharing in a google classroom for my individual students. Today I noticed a NJ small license plate behind you. I did 35 years in NJ before moving to Winter Garden Florida.. now working Prek to 5 here! Thanks again

[PhxIan-rmoe]

Thank you so much for this!
Quick question also, I struggle with a lateral lisp that envolves a, sh, and ch. do you have any tips for sh and ch?

[barry]

I have trouble saying s with a smile because the air goes through the side but when I close my lips the sound comes out much better, although it’s not the correct method. I’m not sure what to do now..

[LaurenMcCarthy-lm]

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??

[joannawilliams]

Hi, i am currently working with a child on lateral s but they are unable to produce the t sound as they also back this sound. Any other tips and neither of these tips will work. Also trying to work on the t sound. Thanks!

[tessaduboiseedericquebourg]

With the exploding t, how do you fade that t at the beginning so that you're saying for example 'seal' instead of tseal?

[mjhrs]

Hi, your video was helpful, will try some of the exercises. Do you have any tips for helping with a lisp (lateral I think) on the “s” sound whilst singing. I am trying to sing but hate listening to myself on recording and part of it is my lisp on the “s” sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
