The main findings of the study suggest an increase in the number of the cases identified with language disorders during 20. The participants in the study were evaluated, diagnosed and received specialized speech therapy. It was hypothesized that there was a significant increase in the frequency of the language and communication disorders during the eleven years of the study, especially in expressive language disorders like dyslalia. Children diagnosed with language and communication disorders at the beginning of each school year were included in the study. The study began in 2007 and ended in 2017.
The main objectives of the longitudinal study were: (1) to show a significant increase in the frequency of language and communication disorders in primary school children, (2) to underline the importance of high quality language therapy services focused on prevention and early intervention. Expressive language issues can be easier to identify in the early years. Problems with oral communication are the most common signs of language disorders.
