Our Vision and Mission

Afasic supports and provides information for families with children and young adults who have Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) with a focus on Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

Afasic’s vision is that every child and young person with speech, language and communication needs should be enabled to overcome the challenges they face and become the best they can be.

Afasic’s core purpose is to provide information and support for parents and carers, and also to health, education and care professionals, to enable them to better understand, help and advocate for children with speech, language and communication needs; and to enable children and young people to develop key skills, improve social integration and gain access to educational and legal entitlements.
