This review is from: Frontal Lisp, Lateral Lisp: Articulation and Oral Motor Proceedures for Diagnosis and Treatment (Paperback)

As a school speech-language pathologist, I went from someone who had no idea how to treat lisps to someone who was teaching other SLPs how to treat and diagnose them :).
