Normally if my son can do it at all he makes the " h " sound by huffing

and then finishing the word like making a breathy sigh and then

saying a long " I " for " high " or sighing and quickly saying a long " a "

for " hay " .

He sat in his little seat and said " high " !

When we would practice sounds he would get the first one and not the

second two so we just asked him to say it once and he said the " h "

sound. We paused. We asked him to say it again and he did!!

Hay tay tay

Hay tay

Hay

Hay

Hay

Hurray!!! I think the combination of apraxia and dysarthria make it

so hard for him to make consonant sounds. (We're still on fish oil.)

(We use a flat spoon or Nuk brush to hold down his tongue to say

the " k " and " g " sounds.)
