I absolutely love the visual cues and games you have shared for developing the production of the sh sound in isolation.

[@TheSpeechScoop]

So glad you found them helpful! I love visual cues too!

[@laurensheldon5732]

Saving these, my son is home schooling and struggling with these sounds. Thank you, he is supposed to be going speech therapy but thanks to covid he’s unable to!

if you have the time see if your local college has a speech and language program. I'm a speech and language grad student and we have clients we do telehealth with!

Hi there. I have a student struggling greatly with a lateral lisp "sh" sound. Do you have any suggestions that might help her? She is finding placement very difficult. She's also been working on the correct /s/ sound which has improved greatly.

[@LaurenMcCarthy-l9m]

what technique would you recommend for pronouncing the x and k sound properly with a lisp, as it makes a really gushy sound with my lisp when I try and say it??

[@a.thompkins1910]

Thank you for these

[@theguavamama]

Soo helpful!! I'm a general ed teacher and I push in speech lessons with my little ones. I practice with my own 2 yo as well. 💕💕🙏🏾

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Amazing! Teachers wear so many hats! Kudos to you!

[@yonahdarrison545]

These tips are great! Thank you! How would you target /sh/ and /ch/ that is caused by a lateral lisp due to an underbite?

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Yonah Darrison jaw exercises may help- is there dental work going on currently or in the future? Google super duper oral motor exercises!

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Yonah Darrison also - you’ll have to have extra lip strength! Try to exaggerate those SH / CH sounds in order to compensate for the underbite - for lateral lisp due to underbite, there’s really not a lot we can do without dental assistance; however, consider producing your /s/ sound like more of a soft “sh”, as many singers do this intentionally & it is considered a dialect/accent verses a speech error! Just food for thought! Hope this helps!

[@dbdragoner]

When I was in preK, my grandparents were told I needed speech therapy, but they moved that year to a small town that didn't have any of those programs. I've always struggled with my CH and SH sounds. I'm now 31 and just diagnosed with ADHD. I honestly forget in the middle of speaking how those two sounds differ. I feel a bit silly using since these since they are for little kids, but I'll give it a try.

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Oh don’t worry at all you can definitely get it either and just using the placement cues! I have a CH sound video for adults on my list of videos to film so stay tuned! Lots of people have requested that, the way I am just remember that SH your tongue is pulled back and not touching the top of your mouth and CH your tongue explodes off the roof of your mouth! You can do it!

[@bennywolfe4357]

What exactly should i do with my toung? Tighten the sides like im sticking it out, but should it touch anywhere?

My friend has lisp, and I am the type person who always get impacted with speaking habit . So I have to watch these video every time I hang out with her 😂😂😂😂😂

[@reverendanswer9722]

I’m 18 years old. I was told that it sounds like i talk with a lot of spit when i say words with Ch or Sh or tion. I purposely try to swallow and it still sounds that way. I am an aspiring speaker. I love to talk but I’ve completely tried to avoid saying word like (wishing,she,shallow,relaxation, etc). Can you please help?

[@TheSpeechScoop]

is air flow coming out of the sides of your mouth - like air in your cheeks?

[@reverendanswer9722]

Speedy Speech yeah. It’s like I’m just blowing air out talking with the side of my mouth. I’ve tried everything

[@user-mi6ch8st7m]

Hello! What type of lisp would a child possibly have if they pronounce sounds like ch as sh (ie chewy as shewy, or child as shild). Thank you!

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Just a distortion! Just needs to correct the tongue & push it up to the roof of the mount & “explode off”- when “sh” is produced, the tongue is reflexed but not touching any other oral anatomy. Hope this helps!

[@rachealbell1159]

I have a question. My child adds a "T" sound when trying to say the word shoe. She can say the two sounds perfect separately but when she blends them she adds a "T" sound. Is there a way to help her with this as many of the words and sounds she say wrong she adds a "T" sounds. Thanks

[@TheSpeechScoop]

are the words that she says all involving the "sh" or "s" sounds? (if so, it would just mean its a patterned error called "stopping" where kiddos stop the airflow instead of continuing throughout the word. Try using an "H" sound to continue the airflow! for example: instead of "stoo" for shoe - try "shhh + who" and instead of "seep" for example, (where she would say "steep" you would model "sss - h -eep" to exaggerate the air flow and help it be continuous (because when kids add the /t/ sound its to stop it!) so try that modification and let me know how it goes! A visual of an "H" (write H on a post-it) and the hand cue to feel the hot air coming out of your mouth when using /h/ would also be helpful! check out the /s/ videos for the hand cue for /s/ and then combine with /h/ to keep both sounds in the word! Hope this helps!

My child saying ch instead of sh and s. What can I do for it?

[@alibazi7537]

Hi how should I teach my girl to say dʒ like june? thanks

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Hey there! Great question! So “ch” & “j” are the same sound - one is voice off “ch” and one is voice on “j” so you will just have her do the same thing with her voice on! You can tell if voice is on by touching your throat & feeling vocal cords “tickle” or vibrate! You can also do this trick with “p” and “b” / “s” and “z” and “k” and “g” all the same thing! :)

[@georgimihailov4906]

Do you have any advice for a little boy with a cross bite. One of my child's front teeth is slightly angled inwards and I want him to have the confidence to pronounce ch and sh because I am uncertain if he will be able to wear braces.

[@TheSpeechScoop]

That shouldn’t impact this sound - possibly lip closure though so /m, p, b/ sounds

[@georgimihailov4906]

@@TheSpeechScoop Thank you.

[@georgimihailov4906]

@@TheSpeechScoop BTW, his /m, p, b/ are great, but the sounds he is least confident about are - forgive me, I can't find the phonetic symbols - the s sound, the ch as in china, the sh as in shush (the tongue keeps touching that tooth) and the tz as in pizza.

Hey... I saw your videos... Have a 11 yr old with CAS... she responds so very well to cues. But does not have a SLP who is prompt method of speech therapy specialist here in NJ. We love your videos. Could you please suggest more resources and I will follow through. Much thanks!!!!!

[@chitrashukla3688]

Kelly- Could you please suggest more resources for CAS. We so badly need to PROMPT specialist here in NJ. But, so far none.. virtual learning looks like the only option for child

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Chitra Shukla try reading repetitive books like “polar bear, polar bear what do you _____” & target that word “see?” So let them fill it in but provide the tactile cueing like (run finger down arm for /s/ and then big smile & point to closed teeth for /e/ & exaggerate the word /sssseeee/ if they are at the word level, if at the phrase level, target 2 words together with cues, etc. once the child masters the word level/phrase level (80% or more correct 3 x’s - yay!!!) then change the target, so instead of letting them fill in the word “see” let them fill in other words! (& cue those as well!) remember repetition / muscle memory / oral-motor strength & coordination are what’s important with CAS! You can do it!! Let me know

Sh - try pulling your tongue BACK a little during productions Ch- tongue goes up to top of roof of mouth & then explodes off pulling down quickly X - is the /k/ sound plus /s/! Practice by producing separately & then combining them more quickly!
