2. SpeechDisorder
SpeechDisorder was formed to offer a unique reference point on speech disorders: causes, treatments and therapies.
This site explores the numerous types of speech disorders and the techniques used by speech therapists to help cure them.
Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by professional journalists and experts - who have a particular interest, or a background in this area.
