Speech therapy helps autistic children communicate: asking for what they need, understanding others, and taking turns in conversation. Poorvam Care's RCI-registered therapists start with an assessment, then work through play, with ABA and OT from the same plan, in Electronic City.
Every autistic child is different. Most have one or more of these, and the assessment shows which.
Autism (autism spectrum disorder, or ASD) is a difference in how the brain develops. It affects communication, social interaction and behaviour, and it is lifelong. It is not a disease and not caused by parenting.
Some autistic children are non-speaking or use only a few words. Others talk a lot but find conversation, abstract language or social cues hard. Speech therapy works on whichever of these matters most for your child, so they can communicate and do more for themselves.
Two or more of these? An assessment gives you a plain answer, with or without a diagnosis.
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.
We assess communication and plan therapy. A formal autism diagnosis comes from a developmental paediatrician. If hearing could be part of the picture, our sister clinic Poorvam Hearing tests children's hearing in Electronic City.
Four steps, and you are part of every one.
The first visit is a full assessment of how your child communicates now. From it we write an individual plan with measurable goals, and we review those goals with you regularly.
Sessions mix play with short structured activities, so language builds naturally. Children who benefit from behavioural support have ABA sessions that share the same goals. Older children practise interaction with peers in small social skills groups.
Parent training is part of therapy, so you can keep progress going at home. Goals, session notes and progress updates are on your phone in the parent view. Families further from Electronic City can do part of the weekly therapy as online sessions.
Many autistic children need more than one kind of help. Every therapist works from your child's one plan.

Families come to us from across south Bengaluru. Here's which centre is closer, and when online sessions make more sense.
From Whitefield or Marathahalli, many families start with an assessment at a centre, then do part of the weekly therapy online.
How online therapy worksAs soon as you have a concern. You do not need to wait for a diagnosis. Support that starts before age 3 tends to help most, because communication habits are still forming, but therapy helps at any age. We see toddlers from around 18 months as well as school-age children.
Most autistic children we see start with two or three speech therapy sessions a week. The right number depends on your child's age, how they communicate now and their goals. The therapist recommends a frequency after the assessment and reviews it with you as your child progresses.
Yes. ABA (applied behaviour analysis) and speech therapy can run side by side from one plan, so behaviour and communication goals pull the same way. Occupational therapy and special education join the same plan when your child needs them. More about ABA at Poorvam Care.
Not babbling by 12 months, no single words by 16 months, losing words or skills they had, difficulty understanding simple instructions, limited eye contact, repeating phrases instead of using their own words (echolalia), and difficulty with back-and-forth conversation or making friends. A child who loses words should also see a paediatrician.
No, and nothing needs curing. Autism is a different way of developing, not a disease. Speech therapy helps an autistic child communicate in the way that works for them, whether that is spoken words, signs or pictures, so they can ask for what they need and take part at home and school.
No. We assess communication and start therapy based on what your child needs now. A formal autism diagnosis is made by a developmental paediatrician or child psychiatrist, and we will suggest one if it would help your child get school or other support. Therapy can start while you wait for that appointment.
Yes. Many autistic children start without spoken words. Therapy builds communication first: pointing, gestures, signs, picture cards or a communication device (AAC). These do not stop speech developing. Many children use them as a bridge while spoken words grow.
Fees depend on how many sessions a week your child needs and whether some sessions are online. We explain the full cost on the first call, once we understand your child's needs. Call or WhatsApp +91 88848 64343 to talk it through.
