AB Speech  and  language  impairment  affects  a  median  of  5.95%  of  children.  Particular  factors  are  known  to  place  children  at  greater  risk  of  delay  including  low  gestational  age  and  birthweight.  Although  a  proportion  of  neonates  in  these  increased  risk  groups  develop  age-appropriate  communication  skills,  others  may  demonstrate  significant  difficulties  that  have  been  shown  to  detrimentally  impact  on  social  and  educational  outcomes.
