5-7% of the population reaches adulthood with a speech disorder serious enough to be a handicap.
The most critical time for speech development is between one and three years of age.
3-5% of all children have either a receptive and/or an expressive language disorder.
Every 53 seconds in America someone has a stroke. This is the leading cause of adult disability in the USA.
The most important thing to remember about speech disorders is that therapy can, in most cases, make a huge difference. The earlier and more intensive the intervention, the more successful the therapy.
