Half a million Australian children have a speech/language disorder, tripling their changes of poor academic outcomes, limited employment options and social isolation. Current speech therapy is limited, focusing on symptoms and ignoring evidence on underlying aetiologies. By identifying and translating findings on new genes and brain pathways leading to speech and language disorders, we will transform detection, diagnosis, prognosis and genetic counselling of affected children and their families.

50万澳大利亚儿童患有言语/语言障碍，使他们的学业成绩差、就业机会有限和社会孤立的变化增加了两倍。目前的语言治疗是有限的，专注于症状，忽视了潜在病因的证据。通过识别和翻译导致言语和语言障碍的新基因和大脑通路的发现，我们将改变受影响儿童及其家庭的检测，诊断，预后和遗传咨询。
