Could improper oral rest posture and mouth breathing inhibit ability to produce /k,g/?
Monday, 30 March 2015
I recently picked up a six year old boy who has been in speech therapy for years for production of velars. He consistently fronts /k,g/ and is not stimulable for the sounds.

Nine years old, forward tongue thrust
Sunday, 15 March 2015
I had a patient yesterday. Nine years old, forward tongue thrust. Severe allergies and asthma. These are under control as much as they are going to be. Age 9. To see orthodontist soon. So, is this one that I take as far as possible knowing it will not correct totally?
