speech therapy lisp

I believe they cut it so that he WILL talk normal, right? If you notice he is 'talking funny', speech therapy is really awesome. But hopefully that won't be the case and the surgical snip will do the trick.

I've had my troubles . . . substituting wrong words . . . starting a word with the wrong letter . . . poor word recall . . . getting stuck mid-sentence . . . but recently I have experienced a "slight" lisp that has showed up twice in the past 30 days, and I think it only lasted maybe an hour or so. The first time was right after I had gotten out of the swimming pool and sat in a chair drying off in the sun - and heat!

I had a temporary crown, and it ended up falling out. I was without a crown for two days. I immediately had a lisp. I got the new permanent crown put in this morning. Well, I still have a lisp. I complained, and the dental assistant said I would "get used to it". I asked the lisp, or the crown? She laughed, and didn't answer. So, will I have a permanent lisp? Or will this go away? I want know if I should call them, and find a way to fix it. Thank you!

In July, I got a filling on the back of my top tooth - the tooth directly next to my right front tooth. There used to be a 'ridge' on the back of this tooth that I would feel with my tongue all of the time (there is an identical ridge on the opposite left tooth as well), and. when the dentist filled the small cavity on the back of the tooth, he shaved away the ridge, too. I have, since the filling, had troubles making the "S" sound - I have definitely developed a mild lisp.

I'd rule out anything physical (like mouth formation problems, being tongue tied, teeth issues) and also have his hearing checked--hearing problems can cause speech issues, too. Then I'd see if speech therapy is a possibility. Can you have him evaluated--to see if there are any other issues with him? My son didn't speak clearly for quite a while (he spoke later than other kids his age)--then when he did start speaking, he couldn't say his "r's" and he had a lisp.

I'm 23 and recently started experiencing similar symptoms (the slurred speech). In a recent meeting at work it took me four tries to properly pronounce "transition" and my "s"s seem to be slurred. Do you have an update on your situation?

His speech became such an issue at one point, that he began seeing a speech therapist who was baffled as to why my son just developed issues ( a lisp, esp. with 'sh' words) at the age of 13... His pediatrician (who prescribes his meds) seems to think that it isn't the Concerta, yet I disagree and am starting to think that my son is having an allergic reaction to the drug... Any thoughts on this?

The right side of his body was larger than his left. This included his tongue and he had to have speech therapy for years and still has a lisp and has difficulty swallowing pills. He had some surgery when he was only 2 and the anethesist said intubating him was tricky because of the size of his tongue on one side. He was being followed by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon from age 4 unti last year when he was only 13yrs old. Last April was his last visit and he was 5'9.

It was around 6pm and i was laid watching TV feeling quite tired when i started to forget the names of the characters on the TV show id watched for years,then my vision on my left side became blurred,my speech was slurred and i couldnt move. I forgot my Mums name as i was trying to call her but further more i couldnt move or speak! Natually this alarmed me and my mother and we went straight to the Maternity Home. All they did was test the strength in my left hand!

I went to my speech therapy this morning. She had me saying ahhhhhh, ooooh, eeeeh and reading from what looked like a grade second reader. The she made a mistake. She said, "Tell me a little about yourself." Now, being a complete windbag I went into a dissertation that rocked her back on her heels. She kept asking me to take a deep breath as i talked.

She said that they do educational speech therapy and that Ashtyn needs Clinical speech therapy. Is there anything that would be as helpful as speech therapy since my insurance wont cover it and the ISD doesn't do the speech therapy that he needs? Ashtyn is very behind in almost all communication skills. I don't know what else to do for him, and no one can help him!

Yes U should look into speech therapy, but therapy in general...make sure his hearing is ok......there r forms of autisum that can case speech delays...look up aspbergers (sp?).......I hope ur son responds to whichever therapy u choose.

t meet, the inside of the mouth in between the two sides of the top row of teeth is far too narrow among many other rather large problems. As a result, I have a lisp and slurred speech. You following me so far? Anyway, now I want to be a lawyer. A criminal barrister under NSW law. To be a criminal barrister, you need to make speeches and mind blowing ones at that. My speech doesn't help. My teeth and jaws have to be realigned with braces.

My current challenges (aside from basic logistics of being constantly outnumbered) are related to some speech delays with the twins. Congrats and best wishes to all of you with multiple blessings in your families!

For that whole period of time while I had my bite plate, I had a very noticeable lisp, and it did not go away. I finally got my bite plate off 4 days ago and I still have a very bad lisp. What can I do to get rid of it quickly?

I recently got 10 porcelain veneers across my top front teeth and now I am having a lot of difficulty in my speech. Slurring my "s" and "t"/"th" words in particular. I always had a bit of a lisp but now it is so much worse that I am actually embarrassed to talk at all because I sound so silly! I love the way the teeth look but am afraid I'll never be able to talk right again.

Btw, getting a birth to three person can help with speech. He should qualify for speech therapy which does not mean he has autism.

Hi, Brain injured patients may receive rehabilitation that involves individually tailored treatment programs in the areas of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, physiatry, psychology, and social support. A complete physical and neurological examination is needed in each treatment program. It would be best to discuss which treatment option is best for you with your doctor for proper evaluation and management. Take care and keep us posted.

I'm glad you gave an update from your speech therapy visit. It sounds like you have a good one and hopefully you will find the right combination of food consistency and flavor. I am picking up my afo next week - maybe we can compare notes. Mine is non-hinged, so I doubt i can sleep in it. I am getting it to stabiize my foot while my foot stress fracture heals. Do you happen to have any of those black boots they often give for foot injuries?

I'm on my 2nd course of oral Prednisone for Sudden Hearing Loss which came upon me 8 days ago. So far, I have noticed substantial improvement on two occasions, only to have slid all the way back again. So incredibly frustrating!! Today I am back where I started (thankfully not worse). I know that my ENT is going to propose IT steroid injection as my next step after this. And I'm trying to do my research in advance.

Hi Everyone- I'm new here, but I had a question about my 2 year old boy. He was diagonosed with PDD-NOS in August and he's been getting ABA therapy for about a month now. I was wondering if anyone has any great success stories with ABA. I know he's been getting only a month, but already I'm getting a bit frustrated. Before he started ABA, he has gotten 6 months of other therapy- speech, special instruction and physical therapy along with his twin sister.

He doesn't have speech therapy. He's five years old. He speaks clearly, and has a huge vocabulary, normal for his age. I'm not 100% sure about all of it, but I know it has more to do with his brain and comprehension.

It’s never too late for speech therapy. Just go to a clinic that specializes in stuttering therapy. Not every SLP will have experience in this area as our field is quite broad. They will come up with treatment techniques that is best suited for your need!
