A member asked:
Can you tell me if speech/language impairment is a disability that can be greatly improved/reversed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This depends: On the source. Speech therapy can do wonders in improvement, but it mostly depends on the source of the disability. The outcome will be different from different pathologies, like between congenital malformations verse, traumatic brain injuries, it just depends and should be seen as a case to case prognosis.
