The gift of speech: Fund provides therapy services to local families
Speech and language disorders affect one’s ability to talk, understand, read and write. Such disorders have different causes, and may range from a few speech sound errors and repetitions of sounds or words, to a total loss of the ability to use speech to communicate effectively. The prevalence of speech sound disorders in young children is eight to nine percent. By the first grade, roughly five percent of children have noticeable speech disorders, and the majority of these speech disorders have no known cause. With early treatment, many of these disorders can be reversed or even prevented.
