Let's talk about correcting lisps. In this video I give you my approach to lisps as well as when I have been told a client has a lisp and they in fact do not have one!
Thank you for mentioning the fact that there are two ways. I've always felt more comfortable going with the bottom teeth. It is impossible for me to make that sound at the top, and I felt completely hopeless. Most people only mention the top way. A handful of kids in high school obliterated my confidence by pointing out my lisp, but most people say i dont have one. I feel my confidence coming back.

Wow I was always taught to use the bottom, and I couldn't do it! No one told me I could use the top. Crazy how that works

Absolutely love this video ! My son is 5 yrs old and he happens to have this so I try to show him how to hold his tongue behind his teeth! It does make a difference when he speaks but he has to speak slowly and think about where to place his tongue then the words sound more clear to the ear and he himself acknowledges that it sounded better. Also he realizes others understand him better :)

As a person who works in the medical/health care field, I really appreciate people like you who take time out of their day to make this type of content avaiable for free to basically everyone. As someone who is trying to improve his pronunciation I would like to provide some chriticism (based on my experience) which I hope could be constructive: while I can control my tongue positioning when concentrating, it's quite hard to do it automatically when speaking, especially with some combinations of letters. Could be helpful imho to dedicate a small portion of your videos to exercises/routines to do for an easier transition from tongue position to natuaral speach. Have a nice day

I produce my s sound with my tongue behind my lower teeth, never ever had a lisp, but recently my lower teeth got so crooked and my orthodontist told me that I had a lisp ? And a tongue thrust. I’m pretty sure that I just recently developed it because I’ve had my braces out for almost 7 years now. But every video I watch( can’t really get an appointment with a speech therapist, at least 2 years, so your video is extremely helpful thank you :) ), they say to produce it behind the front teeth, but it feels wrong because I’ve gotten an open bite, so even if my tongue is up, you can see my tongue and it sounds like a lisp, is this normal and or will it resolve after getting my teeth fixed again ?

It’s totally okay to produce your S sound behind your bottom teeth. In fact, that’s what I recommend when I’m working with someone who has a lisp. It can be easier to move the tongue tip down rather than up in some cases. If you are concerned about your speech, I would look up an SLP in your area who is licensed in your state to give you personalized support. I wish you all the best!

What about biting down on a pop cycle stick to keep the tongue from going forward and keeping the tongue back, have you ever heard of that technique to correct a interdental lisp?

It's not a bad idea. Definitely worth a try! :)

What should the tongue look like when producing the tip down /s/? Is it just laying flat behind the bottom teeth?
@SarahWuSLP

It's with the tip of the tongue behind the lower teeth. The rest of the tongue is laying flat or maybe slightly cupped to channel the air down the middle

There are two ways to move the tongue for R: bunched or retroflex. Both require moving the tongue back in some way. Maybe I need to do a video on that!

those with a true Lisp can't even pronounce the word Lisp without saying it with a lisp! what Cruel Evil Genius thought of this word?🤔
