40% school kids have speech problems
It is estimated that 40% of schoolgoing kids have speech and/or language delays.
Minister's Road: Hear 'N' say Clinic, a specialised centre for people with hearing, speech and language disorders, hosted a workshop, 'Approach,' for parents of children with communication difficulty and delay in developing speech and language abilities, on the eve of the International Day for Persons with Disability (December 3). This is the first such workshop to be hosted in this part of the country and over 25 parents from across both the Telugu states attended the workshop.
It is estimated that 40% of schoolgoing kids have speech and/or language delays. These children interact and communicate in a way that is difficult for parents to understand as it lacks traditional and ideal speech and language development, which in turn hinders their progression and impacts them psychologically for lifetime. This is purely because of the inability to detect their disorder early and seek professional help.
