Abstract
Planning speech therapy services is difficult as the size of the speech and language handicapped population is not known. A literature review has been undertaken to determine the likely incidence and prevalence of persons in the UK with speech and language disorders associated with underlying disease. The findings suggest that previous reports have underestimated the number of persons in the United Kingdom who are likely to have speech or language handicaps and that there are further information needs.Keywords
