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.

A lithp is just a lisp

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

Understanding Lisping in Children


The only website that I chose to talk about that I feel that really is parent oriented, focuses mainly on the lisp disorder in children.
Mindy Hudon, M.S., CCC-SLP takes her readers on a journey to her past, on her first hand experience with lisps. She recalls on Saturday mornings watching Daffy and Sylvester the Pussycat cartoons ad how she would gain enjoyment from watching them talk.
Then by using them and referring to their speech disorders as lisping, she goes in on the different types of lisps, what causes them and what to do about the condition.

    Thanks for your kind words about my blog. Lisping may be cute when a child is young, but if not remediated can lead to difficulty with academics and social issues. Thanks for providing useful information on this topic.
