ABSTRACT
Having a lisp can present challenges in communication and have a negative impact on the social and academic development of elementary school students. This study focused on identifying the causes of lisping in elementary school students. By analyzing factors such as psychological issues, neurological factors, environment, and genetics to determine the causes of lisping in children, we propose several solutions to address this speech disorder in elementary school students. Firstly, it is important to create a supportive and inclusive environment both at home and in school. Encouraging students to participate in language development activities, such as speech therapy or group discussions, is also recommended. These activities can help children improve their speech skills and enhance their ability to communicate. Additionally, seeking professional counseling and specialized treatment is an effective approach to addressing lisping. When encountering lisping issues, students should receive guidance and treatment from experts who specialize in this field.
