Tonsillectomy little girl can’t make H sound

I have a little girl who got her tonsils out and has returned to me (5yrs) doing therapy with her but noticed that she is not able to say “H”  ……. a common Jamaican thing BUT this kid has good parents and staff at home that speak properly so it is not that she has learnt to say ” ome”  for “Home” etc I just on the spot made up a couple of exercises for this  patient. 1.        I have her breathe into a little mirror to make condensation on it as she says “hahahahahahahaha” 2.        I have her pretend to do katate and punch her arms out and go ‘huh’ as karate people do! Any more ideas?

Hi!   Good thinking.  Since we want a nice “flow” of conversation, it will help to embed that “h” sound within words and phrases rather than just saying it at the beginning.  Otherwise, you might get a pause, such as this:  Huh ouse (house) or Huh appy (for happy), etc. You can do these as soon as you are sure that she CAN make the H sound in isolation and consistently.    Some suggested ones might be: A happy boy.  (but she has to co-articulate and blend the words so it is really   aaaaaaaaaaahappee  boy My doggie has a toy.   (my doggieeeeehazzatoy) I hope I’m not confusing you!  let me know. sandra
