The so-called "simple" frontal lisp isn't always simple, and neither is the lateral lisp. Accompanying factors can sometimes make complete remediation difficult. In this three-hour course, Char Boshart, MA, CCC-SLP, takes a therapy-focused approach to frontal and lateral /s/ remediation, from the first steps through carryover.
Char describes the five production elements of /s/, compares the frontal and lateral /s/ and the therapy components for each, and walks through sequential therapy tasks for the sound. She also addresses cases complicated by abnormal oral resting postures, excessively large tonsils, or an anterior open bite. You'll learn how to analyze these oral structural differences and how they can affect speech production, the three categories of oral resting posture therapy, and how to use compensation therapy to work with and around these obstacles.
