She still has "firteen, furteen" though. I know her old speech therapist would say "Look at my face and lips!" and that's how they focused on making new sounds. There's also a speech therapy blog I read (something about Super Powers in the name; I can find it for you) where you could probably search for her problem sounds and see some games she uses to get kids to work on those.<br /><br />And this isn't just "Little Joey is 3 and does that!" Lissa is a whole year (nine months? I forget) older than Mara and Mara's still on the low-average side for speech for her age. But I honestly do find it heartening that every example you chose is one that we see.<br /><br />Do you think there's a way to work with it as you're dealing with letters? "Y says yeh like yeh yeh yellow!" It's going to be harder for combo sounds. I still don't know when "foon" will transfer over to "spoon" but I'm not really worrying as long as she can make the basic sounds, you know? <br /><br />It think it just sounds like you love Lissa and are looking out for her, which is no surprise!Thornhttp://motherissues.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
