12 y.o boy uses a tongue in left cheek behavior at least 75% of the time when initiating a word. Also accompanied by a prolonged /s/ (no matter what phoneme the word begins with). Frequently the /s/ is sustained, which results in excess saliva. Can produce sentences fluently in very structured activities, but consistently unable to carry this fluency even to spontaneous monosyllabic words. Extremely frustrating for client and family.
