Abstract

It is essential to be more vigilant in understanding impact of COVID-19 on children's speech and language skills. As studies in these lines are very sparse, it is imperative to profile these children and derive accurate diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis aids Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to render speech and Language therapy systematically.

Keywords: Landau–Kleffner syndrome; childhood aphasia; speech and language therapy.
