About Us
I CAN is the children’s communication charity
We’re incredibly proud of our achievements over the past year. We’re continuing to make a difference to millions of children in the UK who would otherwise have been left behind.
Across the UK, one in ten children are struggling to speak and understand language right now. This increases to one in four for those children living in disadvantaged areas of the UK.
A lack of knowledge and resources means that too many children and young people with speaking and understanding needs don’t receive enough appropriate support. Without these skills in speaking and understanding, children will struggle to make friends, learn, have good mental health, and ultimately, get a job.
I CAN is here to change that.
