Having a lisp can damage a person's self-esteem and confidence. So do you have a lisp, or do you know someone who has it? Let's take a look at the types of therapy that are available for people that suffer from a lisp speech.

A lisp can cause a person a great deal of stress, worry and depression. Each and every day can be one huge struggle and there can be many embarrassing moments along the way. The people we meet can not help but judge us on the way we speak; it can affect all forms of one's life including our social and work lives.

Traditional speech therapy is usually the first place to go in an attempt to find a cure for a lisp speech. Nowadays the majority of people prefer to seek treatment via a lisp specialist etc. This is due to the fact that these people are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the results, or lack of them, that they have had via their local speech therapists.

There is another way to get help that is less public. It's in the comfort of your own home via the self help guide that www.ilisp.info offers. I personally know of this because I 0nce too suffered from a lisp speech. Once determined, I set myself a goal to get rid of my lisp speech. I achieved that goal in a matter of 2 months! I was overwhelmed with the results.

I Fixed My Lisp Speech, And You Can Too!

This is my personal story about my lisp speech, thanks for stopping by. I want to share my story with you because I use to be in a situation just like yours. I use to suffer from an embarrassing lisp. At the age of 38 I began my search to fix my lisp speech. Not soon after I can across a book that helped. More on that later...

I remember having a lisp when I was young. My Mum had taken me to a speech pathologist, which was probably the most embarrassing thing ever! Because of this discomfort I never made it to a second meeting with the Pathologist.

I went through my schooling years always conscious, always knowing that I pronounced the S letter a little different to everyone else. Most times I didn't think about it because I kept my mind busy with everything else. But once a week, or sometimes more, I would remember my Lisp. I would imagine how others see me when I pronounce the S letter and that just made me feel miserable! ... Yet I didn't seek help. Looking back it was probably because of the massive amounts of embarrassment of going to the speech pathologist.

To fast forward a bit, I became more and more self conscious with my lisp while growing up. Going on dates were very hard, job interviews, dealing with new people, socializing in general just became such a terrible challenge. And I was at a point where I just couldn't bare going to a speech pathologist to fix my lisp speech. What was my solution? I tried to forget about the lisp! ...bad mistake, that doesn't work.

At the age of 38 I started looking for a way to fix my lisp on the internet. Luckily I came across a new book that was published only a few months before I started looking. Its got a lot of lessons that the professionals use to help folks fix their lisp. I practiced, and I practiced hard with all those lessons! I literally spent hours on hours infront of a mirror practicing.

One of the most satisfying things ever had been to record myself reading a page from a book, then playing my voice back to me. Oh how sweet and clear my voice has become.The work I had put into the lessons had paid off after only 2 months.

I hope that you who is reading this has come to realize that a lisp is able to be cured. It just needs the right lessons and determination. I can't really help you with self determination, but with regards to the lessons, you can also read the book I used to fix my lisp.

Hope that helped!
