What happens at a developmental assessment

One unhurried visit at a centre. You stay with your child the whole time.

  1. Tell us what you've noticedBook online or call. We call back within one working day.
  2. We play and watchA therapist sees how your child talks, understands, moves and plays.
  3. We listen to youHome, school, sleep, eating: what you see that we cannot.
  4. A plain answerWhether therapy will help, which kind, how often, and what to start at home.
Bring what you already have

Any reports from a doctor, school or earlier therapist, and short phone videos of the things that worry you. They help us see your child's ordinary day.

What you leave with

Not a label. A clear next step, written down, whatever we find.

  • A plain answerWhether your child needs therapy now, or whether to watch and recheck.
  • Which therapy, how oftenThe therapies that fit, sessions a week, and when we review.
  • The first goalsTwo or three goals to start with, written down.
  • Things to do at homeSimple activities you can start this week, whatever you decide.
A diagnosis comes from a doctor

If your child may need a formal diagnosis, such as autism or ADHD, we refer you to a developmental paediatrician. Therapy can start while you wait for that appointment.

See a paediatrician soon if your child loses skills

A child who stops using words they had, or loses other skills, should be seen by a paediatrician or developmental paediatrician as well as a therapist.

All six therapies, one team

Your child's therapists plan together, so speech, movement, behaviour and learning goals pull the same way.

How we work with every child

Assessment first. Every child is assessed before therapy starts, across all the areas that matter, so the plan is built on what your child can do now.

One plan, written goals. No two children are alike. Each child gets an individual plan with specific, measurable goals that every therapist on the team works towards.

Parents as partners. You get parent training, a home programme and progress updates in the parent view on your phone, so therapy carries on between sessions. Led by Apoorva Rai, MASLP, RCI registered.

How online therapy works

Child development and therapy: questions

What is the best therapy for autism in Bangalore?

The best therapy is the one that fits your child. Most autistic children do best with a mix: speech therapy for communication, ABA for skills and behaviour, occupational therapy for sensory needs and daily routines, and social skills groups. At Poorvam Care in Electronic City, one team builds that mix into a single plan. Speech therapy for autism.

How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?

Signs include not babbling by 12 months, no single words by 16 months, difficulty following simple instructions, speech strangers cannot understand after age 3, or stammering. If you are unsure, a developmental assessment tells you whether therapy would help and which kind. Read about speech delay.

At what age should early intervention begin?

As soon as you notice a concern. Help that starts before age 3 tends to make the biggest difference, because the gap is smaller and habits are not yet set, but therapy helps at any age. Our therapies are for children aged 18 months–14 years. Early intervention for toddlers.

What is ABA therapy and how does it work?

Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that teaches new skills by breaking them into small, teachable steps and rewarding each success. It is used to build communication, play and independence, and to reduce behaviour that gets in the way. ABA at Poorvam Care.

How long does occupational therapy take to show results?

It depends on your child's needs, their age when therapy starts, and how often sessions happen. The therapist sets goals at the start and reviews progress with you regularly, so you can see what is changing. Session notes and progress are on your phone in the parent view. Occupational therapy for children.

Do you provide home-based therapy programs?

Yes. For families living near our Electronic City centres, speech therapists, occupational therapists and ABA therapists can come to your home. Therapy at home. Every child also gets a home programme and parent training, and speech therapy, behaviour therapy, special education and OT guidance are available as live online sessions.

What qualifications do your therapists have?

Our therapists are registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), the national body for therapy professionals. The team is led by Apoorva Rai, MASLP, RCI registered, a member of the Indian Speech and Hearing Association with 13+ years in practice. About the team.

How much does child therapy cost in Bangalore?

Fees depend on the therapy, how many sessions a week your child needs and whether some sessions are online. We explain them on the first call, once we understand your child's needs, so you know the full cost before anything starts. Call or WhatsApp +91 88848 64343.

What happens at a developmental assessment?

A therapist plays with your child and watches how they talk, understand, move, play and handle the room, while you share what you have noticed at home. Afterwards you get a plain answer: whether your child needs therapy, which kind, how often, and what to start doing at home.

Which therapy does my child need?

If talking is the worry, start with speech therapy. If it is movement, sensory reactions or handwriting, occupational therapy. Meltdowns and routines point to ABA, and learning at school to special education. If you are not sure, or it is a bit of everything, book a developmental assessment and we will tell you.
