A lisp, generally noted on the “s” and “z” sounds, is one of the most recognizable speech patterns of all time. It is often seen as endearing in young children and can be developmentally appropriate until approximately 4 ½-years of age. However, as people get older this seemingly small speech difference can have a big impact on their self-esteem and the way they are perceived by others.
Some people even avoid public-facing careers due to feelings of self-consciousness around their lisp. The good thing is that lisps are something that can be changed, even in adulthood. By pin-pointing the specific kind of lisp, assessing contributing factors, and developing a regular practice schedule most people can let their lisp become a thing of the past.
