A lateral lisp is a speech defect in which a child directs air to the sides of the tongue when pronouncing dentalized sounds (sibilants, hush-ups, and hissing). This results in an imprecise sound, resembling mixing saliva in the mouth.
Causes and Treatment:
- Causes: These can include abnormalities in the structure of the bite or palate, weakened facial muscles, anatomical defects of the tongue, improper resting position of the tongue, and muscular problems in the body.
- My Therapy: In my office, I will use specialized speech therapy methods focused on improving articulation and strengthening the muscles responsible for correct pronunciation. The therapy is tailored to the individual needs and capabilities of each child, taking into account the specifics of the defect.
