Will a lisp go away on its own?

I am a 29 year old male. I want to know will a lisp go away on its own?

No, only through therapy with a speech pathologist can a true lisp be remediated.
Hi there. No, a lisp will not go away on its own. It will take therapy and practice to help your lisp go away.
Probably not.
Very unlikely. You should get some speech therapy. Good luck
If you are 29 and have a lisp, it will not go away on its own
I cannot speak to the idea of a lisp just going away on its own because that is not something I have seen nor done research on . My clients that have worked with me to address their lisp came on their own to participate in sessions and were diligent about completing their homework tasks. A lisp is something you can work on altering to a more normalized speech with a speech language pathologist. Definitely check out the Pam Marshalla youtube clips on exercises to address lisp. You can also try to identify frontal vs. lateral lisp and see a local speech language pathologist at a private practice for an assessment!
Hi,

I recommend attending speech therapy as it will help you identify and correct your sound errors.
