Northview Centre, 211 Guelph St., Suite 5, Georgetown (905) 873-8400 - www.haltonspeech.com Q: I've been told iny child has a lisp. Is this easy to correct with speech therapy. A: Speech-Language Pathologists sec many children who have difficulty with speech sound production, such as a lisp. lu iii important 10 note there are iwo kinds of lisps - frontal and lateral. A frontal lisp is when the longue ticks out, primarily on the /s/ and /z/ sounds, and it tends to sound like "th" (eg 'sun" sounds like "thun"). A lateralized lisp is when the sound is very slushy hecause the air is going sideways instead of coming out in the centre ot the mouth. It often affects numerous sounds such as s, z, sh, ch, j. We often sce/hear frontal lisps in presehool children when they are learning to make the /s/ ssund since they do not have total control lon.oue ix c'îscnts hctc'u. Laieralizîid lisps typically need help to correct. Il can be difficuli 10 understand the child as the child "lateralizes" the airsiream on many sounds. Il you have any concernis about your child's lisp. please contact the Centre for further information or to book an appoiniment wvith a Speech-Language Pathologisi. 75 Main St., Ste. 10 F 1 f l Mlton Medical Buildings 905-878-0800 Jillitan Guard Weniiy Cookt Cahieen Mclavish Ryan Weaver (Hons)B.
