Can I ask something? I have a problem with the ''s'' sound. According to my thought, it is caused by the teeth tongue touches. It is not 2 central incisors. Instead, I make s sound with my left lateral incisor. It is almost impossible for me to make a perfect s sound. I have researched for almost 2 hours and I still couldn't find how can I fix it. Which exercises should I do. If you help me I will do whatever you want. Thanks.[I can't go to a therapist because of the pandemic] God bless you.
First of all the things is that S sound is not produced with tongue touched teeth S sound is voiceless alveolar fricative so it is produce with continuous flow of air with friction from oral cavity and tongue touching the alveolar ridge . Mirror Practice: Use a mirror to observe your mouth movements while producing the "s" sound. Make adjustments as needed to ensure proper tongue placement and airflow. S-Blends Practice: Practice words that start or end with "s" blends, such as "snack," "street," "smile," or "brush." Make sure to articulate the "s" sound clearly while blending it with the following consonant. Minimal Pairs: Work on distinguishing between similar sounds that differ only in the presence or absence of the "s" sound, such as "sip" vs. "zip" or "sad" vs. "add.
My son has alot of trouble talking clearly. Instead of cat he says Dat. He tends to use the d sound alot. He is 4. I watched a video on speech apraxia and it sounds a bit like him but could he be a bit of both apraxia and phonological. Im really stuggling to get him help and dont know how to help him myself
Hey Christine, You have some challenges ahead of you, don't you. this is the first time of my speaking on this matter. okay I'm 33 years old in grade 7 (oct - 2001) I was given a test, one that i'm sure i've done before but this is the record i have in front of me says VERBAL 85 (16%ile) Performance was 119 (90%ile) on the wisc-3 test. as a adult I'm a Master Electrician however Im rediscovering communicating and social issues this may have been triggered from a recent work related injury of profound hearing loss. Im writing to you because I think maybe I can offer a perspective on things. I had sever difficulties so take my thoughts as for what it is from my personal experience relating to me and not a professional with privileged medical information as i write for simplicity of speech. Today i'm watching youtube on the matter and thinking of my Mother. as a child it was really hard to correct my speech in part because learning to correct my speech exhausted a large amount of trust building before the learning could even start. I remember that when I spoke this sounded correct to me and what I was hearing. You say Ambulance, me okay Ambulance lol not what was actually said out loud haha right you get it. so what Im saying really is a tip have when your child recognize the error himself and he will correct it, this is his healing journey and a good opportunity to bonding with your child and build trust, my mother had five of us boys and i was the one that had these issues mom was a single mother and this was a difficult task, she relied on the public school to teach me, i don't recommend this, theres a conflict of interest.though use every resource available too you! I'm learning that Im a bit different but not Different at all if that makes sense, don't judge your child as being disabled although he is currently being challenged with some difficulties. some people get math for example and the one's that don't understand math are not called disabled, right. these are just challenges. get a handle on reading and writing, the visual stuff - the difficult stuff is trusting that your son is reading the word correctly and just not saying it correctly lol thats the trust bit lol. okay the memory training will be difficult because memory games are trust building so focus on balancing fun and work with these memory training exercises. i was very repetitive my brothers hated watching a movie 2 times but id watch the same movie 32 times hahahaha. i don't know why, but thats probably why i'm a electrician because i can read the same book over and over again and pull some new information from it. social training will be challenging - this one i'm still trying to figure out. so this is what i suggest download the Tony Robins Breakthrough APP and use this as a foundation like the abc's, its good valuable social information in there. for example female and males do not process social information equally we are very different in what we tie meanings too. your son will get frustrated and upset like any child so this will be a stress management challenge for your son so dont be too hard but still make the challenges achievable, but the challenges must be challenges for improvement. one last tip is don't jump to conclusions. cheers - Tony
@@masterelectriciananthonywr739 hey tony. Ive finally got my son private speech help. He is going weekly and has been for 5 weeks. He was diagnosed with severe phonological disorder and some Oro-motor problems. So far he is coming along in leaps and bounds with the awesome person i have found for him, he responds well to her. She has told me that its going to be a long process but she believes he will get there. Because he is only 4.5 years old ive decided to not send him to school till he's maybe 6. Depending on how his speech is or i will homeschool him for a bit. Im so happy with what changes im currently seeing from him. He's so ready to learn all he can. Hopefully things get easier for you too. Thanks for your comment
