Need help with stopping of initial /s/

Articulation/Phonology

I have a student who consistently puts a /t/ after his initial /s/. I've tried prompting and modeling for tongue position, gestures and modeling to keep air flow going, "sticky /t/", and straws to promote air flow, but so far, my student is still struggling. I feel like I've exhausted my research on methods. Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA!
