We just don’t have time after school, homework, and baseball (soccer, boy scouts, ballet, guitar lessons, etc) to practice speech.

I am told by parents all the time, we just don’t have any time to practice speech. Speech is one of those things that doesn’t need to have a set time to be practiced; it can be implemented into daily routine, games, car rides, etc. Make it fun by playing your child’s favorite game; on their turn have them say their sound in a word, or a sentence with their sound. Play "I Spy" with your child in the car, in their room, in the bathroom while bathing, during dinner, outside, etc having them "Spy" things that start or end with the sound they are working on. The ideas are unlimited; the important thing is to get them motivated.  Whatever motivates your child will help practice become more enjoyable and less of a struggle. You can always reward your child by having a star chart for when they initiate practicing themselves, or when they practice. Speech must be practiced to be the most successful.
