Lateral and frontal lisps require speech therapists to have many tools in their pocket! Each client will require something different in order to correct their tongue placement. It may take time but eventually one of the tools will work!!! The tools in this video include: 1) renaming the sound so it helps the brain create a whole new motor plan 2) stabilizing the jaw and directing airflow using a straw or coffee stirrer 3) using a mouth model to visualize the sides of the tongue elevated and pointing out anchor points on the molars
