[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. Now I fear that I overstated the problem. (I get the irony in a post about articulation.) Based on my research it sounds like a bilateral lisp and the mush mouth is more like the extra saliva that appears when she speaks quickly.  It mostly makes her speech sound more juvenile than it might otherwise sound. It's certainly not crippling. I think my guilt at assuming it would go away went into overdrive. [/quote]

[b]If it were a really severe problem for her age, the school would have done ST therapy for free and/or your ped would have caught it and insurance would have paid.[/b]

However there is a gap between what is noticeable and what gets caught and paid for by insurance or the school district.

I think you just at say kids have quirks if speaking and some are outgrown and some are not, and now that her braces are off it seems she hasn't outgrown it so you want to get it checked out. [/quote]

Hahahahahahaha

Thanks for starting my day with a belly laugh.  Do you really believe that the school system and pediatricians are set up like this?  What planet/state/city do you live in?[/quote]
