Compared to the general community, adults who had a speech impairment as a child typically achieve lower levels of education, have greater literacy problems, experience significant social problems and discrimination, and have decreased occupational opportunities. The social and economic cost of untreated speech impairment for individuals, schools and society is large. This landmark study will identify strengths and limitations in the health and education sectors regarding appropriate and holistic services for children with speech impairment combining identified prevalence, severity and impact data.

与一般社区相比，儿童时期有语言障碍的成年人通常受教育程度较低，识字问题更大，经历严重的社会问题和歧视，就业机会减少。言语障碍未得到治疗的社会和经济成本对个人、学校和社会都是巨大的。这项具有里程碑意义的研究将结合已确定的患病率、严重程度和影响数据，确定卫生和教育部门在为言语障碍儿童提供适当和全面服务方面的优势和局限性。
