You have probably reached our SPEECH (WA) website because you have, or know, a child who has difficulty communicating. Your concern is shared by many families as research indicates that between 6 and 13% of children have difficulty with speech and language.

Children with speech and language difficulties may require assistance in a number of areas to enable them to communicate, socialise and learn as effectively as possible.

If you think your child has difficulties communicating, it is vital that you act early. As a parent you know your child better than anyone else. The sooner you seek assistance, the better your child’s chances of overcoming his or her difficulties.
