Hi there. No, a lisp will not go away on its own. It will take therapy and practice to help your lisp go away.

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!
