Kathryn Griffith M.S. CCC SLP

Most of us find it adorable when our children mispronounce different words and sounds when they are young and first learning to speak. In most cases, your child will outgrow these errors in production. However, some cases like a lisp, may require further intervention.

Lisps are very common in children and there are many reasons why they develop. While they are normal in early childhood development, if a child continues to have a lisp by the age of seven, you should seek professional assistance as the longer you wait to treat one, the harder they are to correct. You may seek professional services earlier if you notice that your child is becoming self conscious or possibly being picked on by their peers because of their speech.

If you have questions about your child or are ready to take the jump towards therapy, contact me today. (317 )721-4391
