In the United States, nearly one in 12 children suffer from speech-language disorders , and that number grows substantially when you factor in adults. Whether it’s Apraxia of Speech (AOS) — a rare disorder that impacts the pathways between a person’s brain and their speech muscles — or stuttering — a communication disorder that results in repetition of speech, there are hundreds of speech-language disorders that can impact a person’s day-to-day life.
