National Early Childhood Articulation Project (NECAP)

The National Early Childhood Articulation Project (NECAP) is an initiative aimed at improving how young children develop and demonstrate their speech and pronunciation skills. It focuses on assessing early speech sounds, identifying speech delays or issues, and providing strategies to support children's language development. By collecting and analyzing data across various regions, NECAP helps educators and speech professionals tailor interventions that promote clear communication skills during critical early childhood years, laying a strong foundation for future academic success and social interaction.
