A lisp refers to a person’s difficulty in producing the /s/, /z/, /sh/, /zh/, /ch/ and /j/ sounds because of incorrect tongue and jaw placement. Usually /s/ and /z/ are primarily affected, but frequently the other sounds are also impacted. Join me as I discuss the difference between a frontal and lateral lisp, and some tips for intervention.

The emerging literacy period is from birth to early preschool. Experiences with talking and listening gained during this preschool period prepare children to learn to read and write during the early elementary school years. In this podcast, I highlight the stages of literacy development, how spoken language and literacy are connected, recognizing some early warning signs, and what early intervention activities you can do to support phonological and literacy skills.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by executive dysfunction, with symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity (with ADHD), impulsivity and emotional dysregulation that are excessive and pervasive. It is impacting a significant amount of people of every age but is most recognized in children as families and educators seek to understand and support them as they struggle academically and socially.

Minimal pairs are words that differ in one phonological element, generally creating rhyming words. Minimal pairs activities help to develop auditory discrimination skills. Kids begin to recognize that a word changes its meaning with changing only one sound. This knowledge and understanding supports the therapeutic process of improving articulation, auditory processing, language development, reading, and writing skills.

Social language is a very broad area of communication. The various components of it form the foundation of our communication skill set. Our interactions, cognition, body language, processing and verbal skills communicate our thoughts, feelings and intentions to the listener. Social language is impacted negatively when someone is not able to recognize and repair any of these affected skills.For more information, see my website:https://vibespeechtherapy.com/
Kids typically produce the /ng/ sound between ages 2-3 . It is no longer considered developmental by age 4. Kids often make an /n/ sound instead of /ng/. When this happens, it is usually due to the back of the tongue not having enough strength to lift and form a seal. In this podcast, I talk about how /ng/ is produced, some methods to elicit the production, and how literacy and online resources will help to sustain it.For more information, see my website:https://vibespeechtherapy....
Word retrieval is a person’s ability to think of the right word when they need it. We all have those moments when we can’t think of the right word, and in that instant we are having a word retrieval problem. A variety of issues can cause word retrieval issues: fatigue, age, brain injury or simply an area of challenge on its own. Some people have a wonderful vocabulary, but in conversational speech they have trouble coming up with the right word. This may cause unnecessary pa...

Understanding grammatical terms helps kids classify their knowledge so that they can remember information, and retrieve it, to build complex sentences. Knowing how words are classified grammatically, and then how to put them together syntactically, gives structure when formulating sentences, improving expressive language skills in both speaking and writing.For more information, see my website:https://vibespeechtherapy.com/

Conjunctions give depth and breadth to ideas and help us explain ourselves with greater detail and precision, making conversation, reading and writing more interesting and nuanced. We use many different conjunctions to convey simple to more complex ideas, providing the listener with more information, just by adding one word!
