How to Teach First words 'more' Speech Pathology
Teaching a child to use language is best done in a natural environment.
Most times I hear first words are when a child really wants something.
And that something is usually 'more'.
Pair this with key word sign for faster uptake as a research-based strategy to increase understanding and expressive language.

What To Say When People Ask Why Your Child Isn’t Talking Yet
Well done Jules as usual Can you please share your experience on the issues and topics below: - Articulation disorders: Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds correctly, like lisps or trouble with "r" sounds. - Stuttering: Disruptions in the flow of speech, including repetitions, prolongations, or blocks. - Language delays: When a child's language skills are not developing at the expected rate for their age. - Autism-related communication challenges: Difficulties with social communication and language use in children on the autism spectrum. - Phonological disorders: Patterns of sound errors that affect entire groups of sounds rather than individual sounds. I think each common issue will make a good TH-cam video, I see many people struggling with those issues.
@@masculineworld354 Thanks, I'd be happy to share insights on these. For reference, where are you writing from?
I’m 16 and you just cured my lisp I actually love you thankyou so much😭
@@oaaosgenesis you're so welcome, remember it will take time to shape into all words and positions of the words. With time and practice you will master this new sound 🙌
Would this be of concern in a 22 nearly 23 month old? She says two as “ga” and tree as “ga”, turtle like “kurkle” and kettle like “kekkle” just for examples. Any help would be appreciated!
@@KennedyDevitt-e8r sounds like some backing sounds there but also other typical processes such as assimilation. Typical speech therapy for sounds starts around 3 years anyway so you'll see some changes over the next few months.
@@GrowandTellSpeechandOT thank you so much! I’ve been worrying myself with it. So could this be something she grows out of?
@@KennedyDevitt-e8r she is likely to start using t and d sounds before the age of 3 :) Great news is she already has the back sounds which are usually harder.

Hiya I’m a teen from the UK and your videos have helped me so much with my lisp subsequently helped me so much social anxiety! I especially love the exploding T technique however I have one issue, what technique would you recommend for pronouncing the x and k sound properly with a lisp, as it makes a really gushy sound with my lisp when I try and say it??
@@user-rk4ct8vi7n glad to hear it's been helping you. I'm perplexed as the k sound is made at the back of the tongue (not the front or sides (where a lisp can take place). I'm putting together an online e short course to help people, would that be something you'd be interested in?
@@GrowandTellSpeechandOT yeah it’s almost as if the gushy sound comes from the back of my mouth unlike a frontal lisp where it’s coming from the tongue sticking out the teeth, it’s more so the S and X sound that’s hard to pronounce and yes I would be interested in the course!
@@user-rk4ct8vi7n it sounds like a lateral lisp on the affricates which can also take place. This can also be shaped so air stops escaping through the sides (the gushy/slushy sound). I'm thinking of the videos on a private TH-cam account 🤔 will keep you posted
Namaste

I have been having stuttering problems since I was a child until I got an online review from Dr. Okouromi on TH-cam about his herbal alternative healing. I contacted him and took his herbal medication after 4 weeks of treatment. I got my voice back and I am completely fine now.....⚛⚛⚛
I don't think i can still fix my lisp :( it's been my problem ever since i was a child and I'm 17 now. I'm conscious of the way i speak and these videos are not even working for me:( i always try to do these hacks but nothing seems to work. but still I'm grateful for these videos 🫶🏻🫶🏻 thank u

I have a question. How do I make it a habit?

How to interact with children in a way that enhances their autonomy? Children are inherently dependent on their caregiver. How do we avoid making them feel like things simply happen to them, how do we avoid making them feel like they have no freedom or autonomy in a situation, especially when they have to be encouraged to do something that needs to be done? Your tip with the "finish" sign definitely helps. It helps them have some form of "control" over a situation. With this small trick they know that things have a beginning and an end. It makes things predictable for them. 💜 Thank you very much!
@@Analysis_Paralysis 100% agree, with communication comes confidence and independence... many parents say, now they're using their voice to challenge me! It's all part of growing up and having autonomy. And lucky for parents, children move forward from 'no' and are happy to be heard and included in the decisions :)
What about the content of the speech? How much "sense" should a 3 year-old make?
@@Analysis_Paralysis short sentences and phrases and have knowledge of some concepts I.e wet/dry, big/small etc.. and answer basic what, where, who questions. Ask "where daddy?" And use verbs even if incorred tense I.e I goed outside

@@Is_brea_liom_tae go with what works, and videoing can always come later once rapport is there. Filming someone their first or second session screams "lets see what you're doing wrong here. On video."... 💀

Now tay tally tells tea thells at the tea thore
Ok but the way I was taught was to mouth your lips like a broad smile, then the tongue naturally touches the top. The most annoying acceptable thing I’ve noticed that’s crept into Australian speech is the use of the lips to pronounce L, which makes the L sound like a W. The lips must not be involved so a broad smile is the go.
Agree, a big smile, lips not rounded
Useless
I hope you find a method that helps you 🙂
I literally can't get rid of it, there's nothing I can do
Have you tried the above exercise. What did you notice? Are you able to move your tongue to make a single s. There's another technique in case air is still coming out the sides of your mouth/side of tongue. There's several steps to take and it takes time.
My 5-year old boy hardly pronounces really, family, possibly~ the ly sound is quite tricky for him, still sound weird is it normal?
hello mem can we talk?

Thank you so much for teaching how to speak you are amazing and I hope you get everything you wised for :)
You're so welcome, I'm glad to hear it has helped you, best wishes
i'm 17 and i dont have this lisp but i think my S sounds are sooooo harsh English is not my first language, but i can speak English without a scottish+british accent, it doesnt seem to bother other ppl bc they say i speak well and quite ~posh~ but it bothers me... esp when i hear myself in recordings. do you think you can do a video on this? how to soften this S sound and not sound so snakey?
It depends if the strong s sound is due to lots of air, too much pressure, or tongue placement. I consult online via telehealth with a booking available through www.growandtelltherapy.com.au
If im 23, is it impossible to get to a point where I can speak effortlessly without any lisping?
Yes there is. Have you been to a Speech pathologist? I'm creating a short set of videos to accompany homework practice and the steps it takes to shape a lisp to a clear s
When I try to make the new sound it just sounds like I’m saying shhhhhhh and not t t t tssssss
I'm creating a short course to help others such as yourself 👍
Try making the T sound while the tip of your tongue presses up against the back of your lower front teeth, it’ll be impossible but you’ll make a kind of S sound. Then you work on refining it.
Wow this is great... 31 and that "T" sound strategy really makes it click that my s isnt coming out the front.
So glad to hear it's clicking. The simple things make big changes
Hi I really hope you can help me! I'm not sure if this is normal but when I pronounce the s sound it only comes out of my right side, which creates this lisp but It doesn't sound like any of the speech therapists when they do an example of a lateral lisp (because the airflow only comes out of one side). I was wondering if this is normal and if you think I could correct this? When I pronounce the s sound my tongue touches the roof of my mouth and goes to the left, which is why the airflow comes out of the right. I have tried a few correcting activities and they all help but it's hard to then use the new way of saying the s in a sentence :( I'm 18 and really insecure about this and now that I am at university and have a job and do presentations I get so insecure and just want it gone ahhhhh. In england we can get speech therapists for free on our health service so I am going to try and get a referral!! Thank you
Thanks for sharing, yes most certainly can shape the way your tongue and airflow are creating the S sound in words. It does take time and small steps, however very achievable. See how you go with a referral. If you get stuck you can book online with me www.growandtelltherapy.com.au
@@GrowandTellSpeechandOT Thank you so much💓
In 25 and hated my lisp all my life. I'm reporting back in a few months. I'm so stoked
Can't wait to hear how you go!
How is it?
Currently doing the exercise everyday. The "thh" sound definitely sounds better than my lateral lisp, but I have a hard time forming words and sentences. It sounds very forced and especially words that end with an "s" kind of fall flat. However, practice makes perfect so I keep trying
@@OasisMilo would it be helpful if I did a short course on the steps to correct a lateral lisp?
@@GrowandTellSpeechandOT that would be incredible!
Hello our baby who is 6 months old has been doing this four times now. It is brought on by when he is particularly upset and hard crying. The shudders present as gasping with a full arm startle with similar facial expressions to this child in the video but are primarily most intense when he is sleeping after being consoled. What type of doctor diagnosed the shudder syndrome? Thank you!
Paediatrician ruled out any seizures or concerns. Our son has since done a sleep study and confirmed no other issues. Funnily enough he was diagnosed with reflux, and although shudders are unexplained, I often wondered was he having reflux when he had the shudders... but it's never been mentioned as a symptom of reflux... take videos and show your Dr. Also ours did them when he was tired
Okay Ima Make the T Sound for like 20 Minutes Straight:)
You can so it. Then add a sound after it ...tsssssa tssssse tsssssi etc...
My almost 5 yo was speaking very clearly. The last few weeks she started dropping syllables. Any ideas? Thank you
My neighbor's daughter did this at the same age. One day she just said "hey did you know you've stopped pronouncing your s sound?" And almost immediately that fixed the problem. No idea if that will help you but that did it for her!
this helped a lot Tysm ❤️
You're most welcome, I'm glad it helped 🙏
im 20 but sometimes when i speak quickly it comes out wrong 😫
Do you mean your sounds collapse and it's hard for someone to hear what you're saying? Or you try and put the words together but can't find the right words?
@@GrowandTellSpeechandOT honestly when i listen to my vns i notice that i have a lisp when i speak quickly, like ppl don't rlly notice it but i do

I’m 14 and I like this technique. But I feel like when I use this sound to talk it sounds silly. Could you try to explain how to use this sound in a sentence? I feel like this might be a hard thing to explain so I’m sorry if it is
The next step is not sentences, it's words only

The provision and support for parents of children with SEN in the UK is sporadic at best. I went to my GP about the anxiety and depression I was experiencing during the process of getting our eldest his EHCP and a diagnosis and they just gave me a prescription for anti-depressants. I threw it in the bin, I don't want drugs, I want coping strategies.
Sadly we all have experienced this or know someone who has. It's hard to find a great therapist and when you do it's a wonder why this research-based method isn't made readily available to those who need it. Sorry you went through this experience. I hope you find an amazing therapist with effective strategies
