Did you go to speech therapy in school? I started this thread after someone got confused in the other speech thread, thinking it was referring to speech therapy.

When I was in high school I went to a student therapist at the local college.

Not school but since my partial tongue replacement, I have had loads of speech and swallow therapy.

No, I didn't need it.
One girl in my class did, because she stuttered.

Yes, in elementary school and in high school. I don't really remember any of it, though, or what I did. I have a pretty noticeable lisp.

I went through a type of speech therapy 60 years ago. In the third grade the teacher saw a problem with the way I spoke. I thought it was due to my two large buckteeth. But anyways, I was sent to Special Class. Three days a week, special students along with myself were collected from their respective classroom and led to a secret hidden room off of the main school cafeteria. This happened while I was in the 3rd & 4th grade. The hidden room had a beautiful conference room table and very nice soft leather chairs. It was such a nice hidden room that I really didn’t mind being there. Our strange assignment during the hour we were in special class was to recite tongue twisters very fast and yet very distinctly. I thought it was a strange thing to do, but who am I to dispute a teacher. I remember the two types of tongue twisters that we recited. These were:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
then how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
The shells Sally sells are surely from the sea.

I remember that it took great concentration to recite tongue twisters accurately. And you really had to work at it in order to say them fast. It must have been very effective because for the rest of my life I was never perceived as have a speech impediment again.
