Make Chatter Matter
Make Chatter Matter is I CAN’s campaign to ensure that children’s communication development from birth to five is a national priority.
The Dyspraxia Foundation supports ICAN's 'Make Chatter Matter' campaign.Communication is the foundation life skill. It affects our ability to learn, form relationships and make friends. Children with speech and language difficulties get left out and left behind.In the UK. 1 in 10 children have a communication disability. In addition to this, evidence is accumulating, particularly in disadvantaged areas, that upwards of 50 per cent of children are arriving at primary school without the typical communication skills they need to learn.
Poor communication skills cost the individual, cost families and cost the nation.
