I have had several students who demonstrate this phenomenon. I break the /s/ initial words into the initial sound and add /h/ before the second part of the word: e.g. sun= s- hun, see= s- hee, said= s- haid. Very gradually, reduce the amount of 'break time' between the 2 word parts so that the word is virtually one syllable with just a tiny lengthened expiration on the initial 's', rather than a pronounced /h/ sound. I've found this method to be very successful, but it requires time and patience.
