Sad, but true, some children remain in speech therapy longer than they should. Even when the child can say his "new sound", he fails to progress into the conversation level, i.e., he neglects to "carryover." It's frustrating for everyone. So what can be done? Well, there is a little-known, highly effective speech solution that's easy to integrate into treatment. It centers on what the tongue is doing--when it's doing nothing! How can this be helpful? Because of one critical principle: where the tongue rests is where it speaks. When the tongue learns to rest on top in the speech zone, it can easily reach all speech sounds. But when the tongue rests "low", for example, speech sounds are frequently distorted. Many times the speech result is a "lisp." Written by a well-known, experienced speech therapist, The Key to Carryover is an easy-to-teach action plan that provides full analysis, interpretation, and step-by-step therapy that instills the new resting postures for consistent and correct speech production.
