When language learning is challenged, the impact can ricochet through many aspects of the child’s life and that of their families. If a child finds communication difficult, s/he may exhibit changes in personality or negative behaviours, the quality of personal interactions between the child and his/her caregivers can be affected, and further development and academic progress may lag.

Early intervention is essential to identify children struggling with communication growth. Speech and/or Language assessment and intervention can put the family back on the right track by maximizing functional communication and nudging development forward to close the gap between the child and his/her peers.
