Awareness Programs for Speech & Language Impairments | Cadabam’s Child Development Center
Every child deserves to communicate with confidence. At Cadabams CDC, we run awareness programs for speech and language impairments that equip parents, teachers, and community partners with practical, science-backed tools to spot issues early and nurture every child’s voice.

- Lower reading readiness and literacy scores
