Being unable to speak is a challenge that confronts over 1.1 million Australians every day. Statistics show: 13,000 Australians use electronic communication aids to get their message across; 20% of 4 yr olds have difficulty understanding or using language; 30% of people post-stroke suffer loss of language; 85% of people with Parkinson's disease have voice, speech and/or swallowing difficulties; 3 in every 1,000 newborns have hearing loss, which without intervention can affect their speech, language and literacy. Indigenous children have 3 times more hearing problems than non-indigenous children.  Speech Pathology Australia
