Lisps
Correcting frontal and lateral lisps for clear 's' and 'z' sounds.
What Is Lisps?
A lisp is a specific type of articulation disorder affecting the production of 's' and 'z' sounds. Frontal lisps occur when the tongue pushes forward against or between the teeth. Lateral lisps happen when air escapes over the sides of the tongue. Both types can be effectively treated with targeted speech therapy.
