"S" SOUND AT HOME SPEECH THERAPY // Tips from a Speech Therapist

[@ellenfrankspeechtherapy]

I know that resources are difficult to access at this time. I hope this series was helpful! Let me know any other topics you would like me to cover 👇

I just want to thank you and show my deep appreciation for putting this material online. I'm a 42 y\o man with a lisp who's been postponing any treatment since childhood because of past trauma and lack of resources. After the pandemic I decided to change a few things in life, and the lisp is one of them, so I recently stumbled upon your videos, and they have been so helpful! I'm recording myself while I practice to listen back how it's coming out, and I'm actually surprised with the results. Already tried to switch to "correct s" mode while talking to people, and it's very, very difficult. I'm glad you cover this topic too. Do you think that reading out loud and recording my voice is a good way to keep my "Ss" crisp and clear even after the initial learning phase? Thank you again!

its so hard 🥺🥺🥺 i tried The Tsss Tsss but in wont work but i still working on it.. i started 3 days only

[@jackveigel3726]

I have to thank you SO SO MUCH for your 4 videos on the "s" sound. I am going through training to become an audiobook reader and my instructor noticed right away that in my recordings I have a problem with sibilance. I talked with a speech therapist who was going to charge me hundreds of dollars to diagnose and treat my speech issue. I was SO grateful to find your videos. I discovered quickly that my problem was having my tongue too far forward and the sound "hissing" through my front teeth. It was a bit tough at first, but as I worked through your videos and did a LOT of practicing every day I was so grateful to find my sibilance was disappearing and my recordings sound better! The only other option for an audiobook reader is to go back and edit the sibilance but editing is such a pain, I'm so glad to be able to fix the problem at the front side. Thank you again!

[@anna-wt2tz]

when I get to the very last step of conversations, im going to write myself out like a 500 word essay and put in as many S words as I can and try to make it make sense, thank you so so much, if I ever meet you in person I won't hug you or anything (tho I want to) but I will say thank you thank you thank you! ❤

My grandson lives overseas so these lessons have helped so much! He visits for a month each year but local speech therapy not available. 😳

Thank you so much for this series. It has helped a lot,

[@jlala100]

Thank you so much for this! My 9 year old is making incredible progress. We watched your 3 first videos (but couldn't find one with phrases, which in this video you mentioned), and can't seem to find any further speech videos. Can you share some links? If we need some actual telehealth sessions in addition to this free stuff, how could we find your information? Thank you for making this available to anyone, especially during this crazy pandemic time. We are so grateful, and we love watching the videos!

[@Arellano-yr8eo]

Thank you! This has been great 👍🏼

[@induravindranath3537]

Please could you advise on where to place tongue to avoid lisp when saying ‘s’ - for a tongue which is now shorter after surgery.

@@ellenfrankspeechtherapy I just saw ur other videos the night time routine ! And wow we have in common I saw ur boy had club feet my 4 year old had it too! And I can just say I feel you!! That journey was tough! With twins I was so worried my twin girls would have it but so grateful they didn’t.....

[@ellenfrankspeechtherapy]

@@fadilamehmedovic3227 no way! We do have so much in common! That whole clubfoot situation turned into a huge nightmare. Terrible wounds and all...so so hard. But praise the Lord we are just in the boots now and his wounds are healed. He has to have another surgery in January or February. Because he’s atypical, now he has a ballerina foot and needs a release to get more range of motion up and down. Luckily, unlike the tenotomy, he’ll be put to sleep for this upcoming surgery. It was horrible having him awake for that tenotomy!!! How’s your clubfoot baby doing now?? And yes such a relief your girls don’t have it!

[@fadilamehmedovic3227]

@@ellenfrankspeechtherapy he’s really good! Aww it was such a hard time too when my son has wear his from the cast at 1 week old then to braces the 23 hours . Then only at night . It was a mission he’s off now since he was 3 years . Wow my son didn’t have any surgery only the small one they had do in the heel that was quick I think that was the tentamoy. I can’t imagine u sleep train them with those on! The one think
