Nearly 7yo DD lisp

dd has always been delayed in speech. Throughout pre school we tried to push for speech therapy because no one could understand what she was saying and they kept asking for me to refer her.

since being at school the speech therapist started out ok then covid hit and actually she had more speech therapy zoom calls than normal ones.

she’s now in year 2 and 7 next month. She’s so obviously has a bad lisp/speech impediment.

shes being bullied because she can’t say certain sounds and she’s had friends take the mickey out of her.

the speech therapist left and they are waiting for another one. I haven’t heard a thing from the nhs since spring last year.
I’m thinking it’s time to go private but can they actually fix anything now? Or is it too late? :(
