Speech Therapy for Speech Delay in Bangalore
Is your child a late talker? Early intervention speech therapy can make a significant difference. Our experienced therapists help children find their voice through play-based, evidence-based approaches.
Understanding Speech Delay in Children
Speech delay occurs when a child's speech and language skills develop slower than expected for their age. Warning signs include not babbling by 12 months, not using single words by 18 months, not combining two words by age 2, or being difficult to understand by age 3. Speech delay can be caused by hearing issues, developmental conditions, oral-motor difficulties, or environmental factors.
The most important thing parents should know: early intervention works. Children who receive speech therapy before age 3 have the best outcomes. Research shows that 70-80% of late talkers who receive early intervention catch up with their peers by school age. Waiting to "see if they grow out of it" can mean missing a critical window for brain development.
Our Approach at Poorvam Care
Our speech delay therapy program begins with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the root cause of the delay. Led by Apoorva Rai (MASLP, RCI Licensed, 13+ years experience), our team designs individualized therapy plans that target your child's specific communication needs.
We use play-based therapy techniques that keep young children engaged while systematically building their vocabulary, sentence structure, and communication confidence. For very young children (12-24 months), we focus heavily on parent coaching — teaching you strategies to encourage language development during everyday activities at home.
