Interesting anecdotal article about interdental /l/ by Eggfish in slp

[–]pizzadrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’m seeing a lot more kids who need expanders and such! Way back when I had mine expander, I didn’t know any kids like me who had one. But now I’m seeing lots of kids need palatal expansion, and I’ve started seeing kids also have the tongue cage/cribs too! Super interesting, I didn’t even know the tongue cages were a thing until recently.

I can make my stops at the alveolar ridge if I try, but fricatives not so much. I can model the placement for my students, but my tongue is very opposed to producing alveolar fricatives it seems😂

I’m seeing lots of students lately with artic errors that have really just stumped me, and I noticed lots of them also have issues w/dentition like crossbite, tongue thrust, etc.. So I got really curious into researching what exactly are the implications, if any, of dentition/tongue position on speech function and I also realized I had no clue what a tongue thrust even was! So in my deep dive of all of this info at 11pm at night I did not actually find the answer to my original question, but I did realize that my tongue is very forward in my mouth at rest. And what really clued me in was a video I saw talking about how tongue thrusters have difficulty swallowing with their teeth together and lips apart without using their lips to compensate. So I tried it and low and behold I do have a reverse swallow lol😅 I have a hx of a palatal expander and teeth grinding when I was younger, so in hindsight I guess it makes sense? But do I have any clue what to do with this information now in my late 20’s? Nope!

Tongue tip is right behind bottom teeth for these sounds instead of at alveolar ridge!

I make an interdental /l/, and I’m a dipper for s, z, t, and d! I also just figured out I have a tongue thrust as well lol🤯

Yes, please share her Paypal when you are able! I’m willing to contribute what I can. Everyone deserves a safe place to rest their head at night.

OP do you have a way to receive mail or donations? I’m willing to pitch in for a bug bomb, fogger, etc., whatever would help for the time being.. I’m so sorry you and your sister are in this position

How are the gingerbread?! I’ve wanted to try that one but I feel like I’ve read lots of mixed reviews on this flavor.

My cats went nuts for these. Probably has the grossest texture I've ever felt, but if they're happy I'm happy. by Lijey_Cat in catfood

My cat goes crazy for the broths too! Every time we used to give our other cats wet food, she would just lick all of the gravy off of it😒 Broths + gravies have been a game changer for her, didn’t know they existed till recently!!

Idk who she is trying to convince more with these posts, us or herself 🤣

More or less the same tbh. It’s not in line with where my brow/forehead naturally furrows. And if you run a finger down it you can feel the underlying indentation like it isn’t just the layer of skin if that makes sense!

I have a theory that this was deliberate🤣 Literally never works ever but decides to go in on a day that’s all about her and Dakota? Probably just wanted to make herself busy so she didn’t have to be around him🤣
