[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t. I have a slight lisp and my parents didn’t get assistance when I was young. By that age I couldn’t fix it and the comments just made me very self-conscious and shy. I wouldn’t talk in front of people for years. You can’t just tell her to articulate better and expect her to be able to fix it. That isn’t a thing. FWIW my lisp hasn’t held me back, and my DH thinks it is adorable. I quit trying to lose it decades ago. [/quote] OP here. Thank you for sharing this and I really appreciate your perspective. If it were just a little lisp I think that would be fine but it’s combined with a sort of mush mouth and I notice that other people sometimes have a hard time understanding her the first time she says something and she has to repeat herself a lot. I feel irresponsible for not addressing it sooner and still would feel bad about not offering help if we can. [/quote]
