Not everyone can get consistent speech therapy because specialists are limited, appointments are hard to schedule, and travel/time is a barrier.

People may wait weeks or months to start therapy, which slows improvement—especially when early support matters most.

Evidence-based progress needs frequent practice, but real-life therapy often happens only 1–2 times per week, so patients don't get enough repetitions.

Most improvement depends on practice at home, but people stop over time because exercises feel boring, unclear, or they can't tell if they're doing it right.

At home, patients don't get immediate correction like they would from a therapist, so mistakes can repeat and progress slows.

Progress is often tracked inconsistently (subjective scoring, different listeners), so it's hard to prove improvement clearly and adjust treatment based on data.
