What Is A Lisp?

A lisp is a speech impediment that typically affects the production of the /s/ and /z/ sounds. People who have a lisp do not have clear production of the /s/ and /z/ sounds where the sounds are often described as ‘slushy’ sounding. The individuals who have a lisp will have difficulties with moving their tongue or airflow correctly to produce a clear sound.

My Approach To Speech Therapy

After working with adults full-time with Well Said, I’ve had the opportunity to help with many speech and language concerns, as well as learn from my clients the issues and obstacles they face in their professional and daily lives.

The Link Between Breathing and Speech

Breathing is the fundamental part of life as it allows us to live. Not only is it essential to survive but it also plays a fundamental role in speech production. Breathing while speaking is so important as it is the basis for using our voice.

How Speech Therapy Can Help Your Career

At WELL SAID, we converse with many clients who are seeking communication improvements for a variety of professional communication concerns. Often, clients do not expect to be able to target these concerns in a speech therapy appointment as it does not appear to be traditionally thought of as something a speech-language pathologist (SLP) can work on. However, SLPs can be some of the best individuals to target these areas as we are so focused on communication in a holistic sense, with training on the physiology of the subsystems of speech.

This article will demonstrate why that is not true. It will demonstrate that you as a multilingual speaker are at an advantage - even when it doesn’t feel like it. In this article, the term bilingualism will be used to embody both multilingualism and bilingualism.

Understanding Emotions Through Facial Expressions

As a speech-language pathologist (SLP) at Well Said, I sometimes work with clients on social communication skills, including the ability to recognize and interpret emotions. One of the most powerful tools we have for understanding how others feel is their facial expressions. The face is a window into emotions, and learning to read it can improve your relationships, communication, and empathy. In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to the work of Dr. Paul Ekman, a pioneer in the study of emotions and facial expressions.
