Mr. Sudhir Choudhrie Aids ‘I Can’

Clear communication and speech is a vital part of grooming of a child, and the socialising aspect of an adult. It is of great essence in the contemporary world, in order to communicate with ease. However, this is not easy for everyone. There are many children who struggle with communication difficulties throughout their formative years and are affected by it, as an adult as well. There are over one million children in the UK alone that suffer from speech and communication disorders. Though, if training and treatments are provided the speech correction is possible, and the condition can be made better.

‘I Can’ is a charitable organization based in the UK that assists such children, their trainer and parents in coping with this situation. It has been serving the society for past 125 years. It is a non-profit organization that derives its resources from private aids and donations. UK based Mr. Sudhir Choudhrie is one of the many frequent contributors to the charity. ‘I Can’ envisions to cure this disorder and that no child should be left behind because of a communication disorder. The charity forms a forum that addresses all such needs of parents, trainers and children on a single platform.

It helps children with Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Specific Language Impairments (SLI). Children with SLCN may find it difficult to understand words and sentences may have a speech that is difficult to understand, might struggle with specific words and sentences. Such children may appear as clever as others and their disparity might be misjudged or missed. They may find trouble in socializing and learning and may score poor grades at school. ‘I Can’ helps them by providing a free information portal ‘Talk Point’ that caters to their needs and spreads awareness about the problem. They have therapists to help treat, and assessment services to diagnose the presence and severity of such disorders in a child.

‘I Can’ also has two schools, Meath in Surrey and Dawn House in Nottinghamshire that directly treat children with severe communication concerns.  It also develops programs that can directly be incorporated into schools; they also have special programs to support children who are at high vulnerability of this problem and social seclusion.
