Summary: Rising numbers of children are not able to speak properly, official figures indicate. Communication difficulties have been linked to poor academic achievement, substance abuse, increased depression and criminal activity. Almost one in seven primary school children with special educational needs has trouble with speech - making it the most common special educational need.
