My daughter had a lsp and the school provided a speech therapist which got her corrected . no big expensive to do . -------------- Original message -------------- From: " " <dreamin2bncapri@...> My playmate who lived next door had the same problem as a little girl. After much testing and years later, tests finally revealed that she was not able to hear certain frequencies which included the S sound. We were all surprised because everyone else in her family was deaf... They had her tested many times, it just took years to show up. When she got older, they taught her how to sound out the S , in the same way a deaf person would learn speech and now one would never know that she had this challenge when she speaks.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Early Intervention is a federally-mandaten program for children 0-3. It is not run through school districts. Speak to your pediatrician. Also, once she turns 3, she is eligible for a school-based evaluation whether enrolled in public school or not. Again, please don't delay. Defecits rapidly accrue and magnify and her struggles will worsen, NOT improve on their own, while SL therapy can make an INCREDIBLE difference. --- Stuck <Sstuck@...> wrote: > Well she is only 2 and won't be in a regular school > so that is n't an ioption for us, but glad yours was > easy > Stuck > [lists] Re: > Re:Speach help? far fecthed for this site? > > > My daughter had a lsp and the school provided a > speech therapist which got her corrected . no big > expensive to do . > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: " " <dreamin2bncapri@...> > My playmate who lived next door had the same > problem as a little girl.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 That was actually my point , about her age and not yet in school . my daughter had the lisp (couldn't say her sss's clearly, she had protruding front teeth not real buck , the whole jaw was out set.she was accepted into the University of Washinton dental because her case was so unusual they wanted to test before and after jaw changes after braces, However we started going to Christian church that beleived in the power of prayer so we prayed for her and she prayed for herself and in one year when they were ready to put the braces on her teeth/jaw were in the right place and she didn't need braces )before she went to school and didn't get corrected until she was in 1 st grade at school 6 years old .. hugs Jo --------- [lists] Re: Re:Speach help? far fecthed for this site?
