Improving speech clarity

9 out of 10 children and adults have speech that is difficult to understand. This is very frustrating for them and affects all aspects of their everyday lives - their learning, friendships, work and social opportunities. We will explore the anatomical, physiological and neuropsychological factors contributing to speech production difficulties for children and adults. We will devise and test treatment options.
