Baby T's New Speech Therapist

The new speech therapist is great! I wish we would have been able to switch sooner. She said she's going to bring her supervisor in sometime soon to see what we can do to get her to move her tongue more when she speaks so that she will begin to make the sounds that she needs to on the ends of her words. She said she still doesn't have a real clear picture of how she talks as Baby T is still warming up to her, but that she can definitely see that she needs to be shown what to do with her tongue but that she doesn't like to poke around inside their mouths so she brings her supervisor in for that. I told her that she's always chewed her food sort of funny as well, so I would guess the 2 are connected.

Have you checked to see if she is "tongue tied?" If you have her lift up her tongue, see if that little tag is attached longer than normal. You can look at another kid's tongue for comparison. I have a student that has this and it is so difficult to understand. I've heard it is a simple snip surgery and presto. Might be worth looking into.
