    Abstract

    This study investigated the current knowledge, practices and attitudes of preschool principals in the Maldives towards children with communication disorders. Sixteen participants representing 9 different administrative atolls completed an online survey. Respondents reported a lack of specific training in supporting children with communication needs, a need for access to speech and language services, and generally positive attitudes towards children with communication disorders.
