About Speech & Language Therapy

Communication is at the heart of every child's ability to learn, connect, and grow. At Dr. Yasaswi's Child Development Centre, our Speech & Language Therapists are dedicated to helping children find their voice - whether that means saying their first word, building sentences, or learning to communicate in social situations. We address a wide spectrum of speech and language challenges using evidence-based, child-friendly approaches tailored to each child's unique needs, interests, and learning style.

Who Is This For?

  • Children with delayed speech or language milestones
  • Children with articulation difficulties or unclear speech
  • Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
  • Children with stuttering or fluency difficulties
  • Children with receptive language disorders (difficulty understanding language)
  • Children with expressive language disorders (difficulty expressing thoughts)
  • Children with social communication difficulties (pragmatic language)
  • Children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices

What to Expect

  • Step 1 - Speech & Language Evaluation: A comprehensive assessment of your child's speech sounds, vocabulary, sentence structure, comprehension, and social communication.
  • Step 2 - Therapy Goal Setting: Goals are set collaboratively with parents, based on assessment results and the child's daily communication needs.
  • Step 3 - Individual Therapy Sessions: Engaging, play-based or structured sessions targeting specific speech and language goals.
  • Step 4 - Home Practice Integration: Parents receive guidance on how to support therapy goals during everyday activities at home.
  • Step 5 - Progress Monitoring & Review: Regular reviews track your child's progress and therapy goals are updated as skills develop.

Frequently Asked Questions

While development varies, by age 2 most children have at least 50 words and are beginning to combine two words. If your child isn't reaching these milestones, an early evaluation is strongly recommended. Early intervention makes a significant difference.

A speech delay involves difficulty with producing sounds clearly. A language disorder affects understanding or using words, sentences, and communication - it may exist alongside or independently of speech difficulties. Our therapists assess both.

Most children benefit from 2-3 sessions per week, though this depends on the nature and severity of the challenge. Your therapist will recommend a frequency following assessment.

Some children benefit from augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools, including picture cards, communication apps, or speech-generating devices. Our therapists are trained to assess whether AAC is appropriate and to support its implementation.
