Have you ever come across a child with stammering or cluttering problem or an adult whose speaking capabilities have got effected by a recent brain injury? Children with speech disorders are often bullied in school. They keep themselves away from many communication opportunities like elocution competitions and may show weak social skill development. If left unattended, these children may also develop psychological problems in the future.
