How to Help Your Child Who Stutters

Clarity Accent Modification ·

2021/05/08

Many children begin to stutter around 2-3 years old. Fortunately, about 75% of those will recover on their own, but currently there is no way to predict who will and who won’t. We do know that the longer a child continues to stutter, the more resistant to treatment the problem can be. For this reason, it is better to treat stuttering early, while the child is still in the pre-school age group. What causes fluency issues? Although we don’t know exactly, there are several risk factors for

PRACTICE MAKES…PERMANENT The other day I was talking to my husband about the phrase “Practice makes perfect,” and he said, “No, that’s not true. It is ‘Perfect practice makes perfect. Practice makes permanent.” And I thought about that and how that phrase really does apply to speech. Think about the child who goes to his speech therapist at school and is taught how to make the ‘R’ sound, putting his tongue in the right place, keeping it back and tight, etc. Then he goes home and practices it

Does My Child Have a Tongue Thrust?

Clarity Accent Modification ·

2021/04/09

DOES MY CHILD HAVE A TONGUE THRUST? What is it? A tongue thrust is when the child’s swallow pattern never changes from the ‘reverse swallow’ pattern that babies use. The tongue continues to push forward toward the front teeth when swallowing. The child’s tongue may also do this during speech. This could cause a lisp, but not all lisps are caused by tongue thrust. How can you tell if your child has a tongue thrust? Your child may breathe with his mouth open a lot, and his tongue may rest in

Will Mouth and Tongue Exercises Help My Child's Speech?

Clarity Accent Modification ·

2021/04/06

In the past, it was thought that various tongue or mouth exercises, including blowing horns, were helpful to teach children to speak properly. These exercises are very different from the movements involved in producing actual speech, and so they are called Nonspeech Oral Motor Exercises. Research has shown that these types of exercises are not helpful for typical speech therapy. It turns out that talking doesn’t require much tongue strength, so exercises that focus on building strength are not

Does your child have a lisp? Here are some fun exercises that will help your child learn to produce 'S' correctly. First of all there’s the Smiling Librarian trick. First you pucker your mouth as you say ‘SHHHHH!’ and after a couple of seconds, you switch your mouth shape to a smile as you continue to do it. Smiling should change it to an ‘S’ sound. Then switch back to a pucker shape and the ‘SH’ sound should return. Keep trying that to see what happens to your tongue as you do this. Your
