  2. What is Lisp? A lisp can be explained as a speech impediment that usually involves the substitution of “s” and “z” sounds in common speech. Due to which lots of words go wrong ineffective communication. There are various types of lisp depending on the mouth organs that are involved in the production of the sounds. It can be modified with good speech therapy sessions. One cannot determine the actual time needed to overcome the issue, but studies have proven that almost 1/3rd of children show significant improvement within one year of regular speech therapy.

Types of Lisp DENTALIZED LISPS INTERDENTAL LISPS Dentalized when the tongue hits the front teeth while making the /s/ and /z/ sounds, making it unclear. lisps occur This kind of lisp occurs when the tongue goes between your front teeth and makes the “th”- sound instead of the /s/ and /z/ sounds. LATERAL LISP PALATAL LISP When sounds are produced, the air escapes out through the sides of the tongue. /s/ and /z/ In here, the child is trying to make the “s” sounds when the middle of the tongue is in contact with the soft palate making it a palatal lisp.
