Abstract:   (192 Views)
    Accurate diagnosis of Childhood Apraxia of Speech presents a significant clinical challenge in Iran, where the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate assessment tools frequently leads to misdiagnosis, delayed intervention, and increased healthcare costs. The effective implementation of these tools necessitates sufficient knowledge resources, financial support, and specialized human capital to conduct experimental research and provide equitable, evidence-based clinical services.
