A Therapy Pathway for Frontal and Lateral Speech Errors (aka “Lisps”)
A Therapy Pathway for Frontal and Lateral Speech Errors (aka “Lisps”)Today we’re talking about “lisps”. But many professionals are moving away from using the term lisp because it often carries a negative or stigmatizing connotation, especially outside of clinical contexts.

Lateral lisp is often referred to as lateralized productions of /s/, /z/, and sometimes other sibilants like /ʃ/ and /ʒ/. I’m speech-languag...

When Should Children be able to Say Certain Sounds? (And How Can We Help?One of the top questions I get is about whether or not a child should be saying certain speech sounds.

Why Use AAC for Toddlers or Children?
Why Use AAC for Toddlers or Children?AAC devices are augmentative/alternative communication systems that allow a person to communicate with those around them without speaking. There are many different types of AAC but the most common are high-tech AAC Devices that allow a person to push a button to speak a message. These are helpful for children or adults who have either lost the ability to speak or who are not able to speak well enough to clearly communicate everything that they want to say.
