To say 'L' you need to be able to put your tongue up to your top teeth so that is what we worked on for my son - lots of oral motor exercises based on his tongue - licking a spoon or stick with jam or something sticky, putting jam on the teeth and trying to get the tongue to lick it off. My son has severe apraxia though so it might be different. But basically if you cannot move your tongue upwards you cannot say 'L'. In the Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme the 'L' is represented by an ice lolly or lollipop so you pretend they are licking the lollipop and say 'La la la' (you can get a picture or a pretend one). You can also sing 'la la la' and try to get them to join in. Then it's just a matter of practising this over and over and over... Over-emphasising the tongue on the top teeth can also help to make it really obvious what they have to do to make the sound correctly.

Hope that helps

Lots of talk (as per usual) about SLT's and provision in schools etc? I would be very interested to know what ideas your SLT (good ones) gave you to use with your child? My child has problems with saying the letter L, but is generally very clear. Did any of your SLT's suggest anything out of the ordinary that was useful for you? we still have all of our boy's toys and wanted items up on shelves (in our sonrise program) and we have found this works a treat, cause if he wants something, he has to at least make an utterance. No matter what he says, he still gets the item, but we give him plenty of time and chance to ask for it first. thanks people, i probably wont ever have an SLT again, but wanted to know if i was missing something by not having them Get Windows Live Messenger on your Mobile.

need for that SLT!

we still have all of our boy's toys and wanted items up on shelves

(in our sonrise program) and we have found this works a treat, cause

if he wants something, he has to at least make an utterance. No

matter what he says, he still gets the item, but we give him plenty

wont ever have an SLT again, but wanted to know if i was missing

also L is easier to say with B. (tongue is in right vicinity)

So bled is easier to say than bread etc. tom has problems with r

not with l. Can say r solus but not with other letters.
