My Thoughts:

In this blog you should learn all that it is to know about lisping. I have inserted pictures, videos, even individual posts inorder to help you, the reader, to better understand everything it is to know about this speech impairment. This is a very interesting topic and I am pretty sure... well I am more than positive that after reading this blog you will take away atleast one thing that you did not know or you will gain a better understanding of what you thought you already knew. I have many goals for this blog or in other words things that I would like my readers to understand after reading this post. First, I would hope that my readers grasp a better understanding of lisping, second I hope you, the reader, understand that lisping maybe simple to you but to those who have this impairment it is much more and third, you the reader should take this matter seriously and not laugh or make that person with the impairment feel anything but uncomfortable. After reading my blog I would hope that if given a test each reader could atleast answer these three basic questions: 1. What is a lisp 2. What causes lisping and 3. List one assumption made by people when referring to lisping.

1. A speech defect characterized by mispronunciation of the sounds "s" and "z" but instead "th" 2. To speak with a lisp

Lisping/ Caroline Bowen

This next article goes into depth a little more about the 4 different types of Lisps. It even features different 's' and 'z' pictures to use in order to determine if in fact someone does actually have a lisp (I thought that that was very interesting and neat).

Now if you were to visit this page and scrolled about 3/4 of the page down you will see in big blue words "Therapy" now unlike other websites that only tell you whom you should visit in order to help assist you in fixing you or your child's lisp disorder, this section tells you what all is done if you were to visit a doctor. It goes through the step by step process, giving the potential visitor descriptive information and basically what to expect.

The author of this website goes into a little more greater detail than most giving examples and pictures, check it out and see for yourself, http://www.members.tripod.com/Caroline_Bowen/lisping.htm
