Abstract: This study explored the issues and challenges encountered by speech-impaired individuals, highlighting the complex array of barriers impacting their social interactions, education, employment prospects, and overall well-being. This study isn’t entirely about understanding, it’s about empowerment, support, and building a better future for the speech-impaired community. The researchers utilized the Descriptive – Developmental approach that provides information about relevant variables without hypothesis testing. The researchers gathered the data through online mode via electronic methods in 50 respondents. This study identified key challenges in communicating with speech-impaired individuals, such as difficulty engaging with them, limited use of alternative communication methods, and low participation in learning opportunities. This leads to limited sign language knowledge among others, creating communication barriers. The study developed an application with its official name “Signbuddy†. It was evaluated about its effectiveness and found it significantly reduced these communication difficulties and serves as an educational tool and improvement of sign language skills, thus mitigating communication challenges.
