A member asked:

Speech issues for our 5 yr old son. when he says s, f, or z it's like he's clearing his nose. he has a tongue-tie but could it be something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Speech issues: Many kids who are tongue tied do not have speech issues. COuld be oral motor immaturity or low tone, or large adenoids could be a factor. Sppech therapy at this age for articulation problems is generally effective.
