🚨 Speech Therapy Crisis in India! 🚨
India faces a pressing challenge in the realm of speech therapy. With an approximate count of just 5,000 speech therapists, the majority of whom are concentrated in metropolitan cities, millions find themselves without adequate access to these crucial services.
For the vast population living outside the metropolitans, this not only means limited access but also implies travel hardships, financial burdens, and extended waiting periods, often leading to delayed or even missed interventions.
Did you know? For every 10,000 individuals with speech disabilities, there are fewer than 5 trained speech therapists available in non-metropolitan regions of India.
This alarming disparity underscores the need for widespread awareness and scalable solutions. Let's work together to make speech therapy accessible to all, irrespective of geographic constraints.
📍 Spread the word, highlight the issue, and let's push for change!
