Question 1

What age should I start speech therapy for my child?

Accepted Answer

Early intervention is most effective when started before age 3. If your child is not babbling by 12 months, not using single words by 18 months, or not combining words by age 2, consult a speech-language pathologist. At Poorvam Care, we work with children as young as 12 months to support early communication development through play-based therapy.

Question 2

How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?

Accepted Answer

Signs your child may benefit from occupational therapy include difficulty with fine motor tasks like holding a pencil, sensitivity to textures or sounds, trouble with balance and coordination, challenges with self-care routines like dressing or eating, and difficulty focusing in school. An OT evaluation at Poorvam Care can identify specific areas where support is needed.

Question 3

Do you work with children with autism?

Accepted Answer

Yes, autism therapy is one of our core specialties. We provide speech therapy, ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), occupational therapy, and special education tailored for children on the autism spectrum. Our team, led by Apoorva Rai (MASLP, 13+ years experience), creates individualized therapy plans based on each child's unique needs and strengths.

Question 4

What is the cost of speech therapy in Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

Session fees vary based on the type of therapy and frequency of sessions. We offer flexible therapy packages to suit different family budgets, from individual sessions to comprehensive monthly plans. Contact us at +91 886 176 4343 for an initial consultation where we can discuss your child's needs and recommend a therapy plan with transparent pricing.

Question 5

How many sessions does a child typically need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions depends on the child's condition, severity, and therapy goals. Most children attend 2-3 sessions per week. Some see noticeable improvement within 3-6 months, while others benefit from longer-term support. We conduct regular assessments and adjust the therapy plan as your child progresses, always keeping you informed.

Question 6

What is the difference between speech therapy and occupational therapy?

Accepted Answer

Speech therapy focuses on communication skills — helping children speak clearly, understand language, and express themselves. Occupational therapy addresses fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, and daily living activities. Many children benefit from both therapies working together, which is why Poorvam Care offers integrated multi-disciplinary care under one roof.

Question 7

What is Therapeutic Enrichment at Poorvam Care?

Accepted Answer

Our Therapeutic Enrichment programmes — sensory art, movement therapy, therapeutic yoga, music & rhythm, and social skills groups — are not general activity classes. They are designed specifically for children with developmental differences, run by our therapy team, and structured to build on each child's individual goals. Every session is purposeful and connects back to their development plan.
