The Journey of Supporting Children with Speech and Language Difficulties (2018–2025)

12/02/2026 Views: 295 Admin

In many rural communities, children with speech and language difficulties are often misunderstood, receive support too late, and their families feel they must “handle it alone.” To close that gap, we launched a community-based early intervention programme that works with parents, teachers, and local schools—so children can improve not only in therapy sessions, but also at home and in class.

Key positive results (2018–2025):

  • 180 children accessed early intervention support.

  • Independent pre/post review of 24 children showed 18 improved in communication-related skills.

  • 90% of participating children were supported to join mainstream kindergarten/primary classes.

  • Parents & teachers reported strong satisfaction (90% positive feedback).

  • 92/265 kindergarten teachers trained; 98% endorsed this community-based model as necessary.

  •  100% of parents are satisfied and trust the Center.
