Lateral Lisp Speech Therapy Tailored Techniques

Lateral Lisp Speech Therapy Tailored Techniques

Lateral lisp speech therapy is a specialized area of speech pathology focused on addressing articulation issues commonly associated with lateral lisps. At Bjorem Speech, we understand the complexities involved in treating lateral lisps and are committed to providing effective therapy solutions tailored to each individual's needs.

Understanding Lateral Lisps

Lateral lisps occur when air escapes over the sides of the tongue during speech, resulting in sounds that are distorted or unclear. This speech disorder can affect various speech sounds, such as /s/, /z/, /sh/, and /ch/, making communication challenging for individuals affected by it.

Comprehensive Assessment Process

Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment conducted by certified speech-language pathologists. During this assessment, we evaluate the individual's speech patterns and identify specific challenges related to their lateral lisp. This thorough evaluation allows us to create a personalized therapy plan that targets the underlying causes of the lisp.

Tailored Therapy Techniques

At Bjorem Speech, we employ a range of evidence-based therapy techniques to effectively treat lateral lisps. These techniques are customized to address each client's unique needs and may include:

• Articulation Therapy: Focused exercises to improve tongue placement and airflow during speech.

• Auditory Discrimination Training: Helping clients distinguish between correct and incorrect speech sounds.

• Tongue Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening exercises to improve tongue muscle control and coordination.

• Behavioral Strategies: Techniques to promote awareness and self-monitoring of speech.

Benefits of Early Intervention

Early intervention is crucial in treating lateral lisps, as it can prevent the development of persistent speech patterns that may become harder to correct over time. Our therapists are trained to work with individuals of all ages, providing specialized care that promotes optimal speech development and communication skills.

Family-Centered Approach

We believe in the importance of a family-centered approach to therapy. Families play a vital role in the progress of therapy by supporting and practicing techniques learned during therapy sessions. We provide resources and guidance to help families actively participate in their loved one's speech therapy journey.
