Tongue-tie
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 10:43 pm
Hi everyone,
My 4yr old is tongue-tied and about 70% of what is said is unintelligable. I would like to take her to be assessed but my husband feels that she is okay. He is also tongue-tied, his speech is fine. Hers is more severe. She has started preschool and I feel that she will get teased once she starts school. I have been doing speech exercises, singing and helping her to slow down and annunciate more clearly. This leads to her frustration and she storms off. I'm at a loss how to help her. Any ideas would be greatful.
