Poorvam Care's centres are in Electronic City, about an hour from Whitefield. So most Whitefield families do weekly speech therapy online, live with an RCI-registered therapist, and come to our Phase 1 centre only for the assessment and progress reviews.
Usually not. An hour each way on the Outer Ring Road is hard to keep up with a young child.
Families in ITPL, Varthur, Whitefield Main Road and Mahadevapura are well connected to the city's tech parks but face a long trip to any specialist. Therapy only works if it happens every week, and a session that fits between school and a work meeting is easier to keep than a two-hour round trip.
Online sessions are not a lesser version: the same speech-language pathologists run them, with the same goals and home practice. In-person visits stay open for the first assessment, a detailed progress review, or an intensive block of therapy.
Five steps from first call to regular sessions. You are part of every one.
From toddlers who are late to talk to school-age children with more complex needs.
Some children, often the youngest, find a screen hard to attend to. If so, we will say so after the assessment and suggest more centre visits.
Frequent ear infections, or not turning to sounds, can point to hearing. Our sister clinic Poorvam Hearing tests children of all ages.
Our Phase 1 centre is the one to choose from Whitefield. It has a lift.
The usual route is the Outer Ring Road south through Marathahalli, past the Sarjapur Road junction, then Hosur Road into Electronic City. Allow about 50 to 60 minutes, longer at peak hours.
The team is led by Apoorva Rai, MASLP, RCI registered. About the team, or see both centres.

Poorvam Care has no centre in Whitefield. Our nearest centre is in Electronic City Phase 1, a long drive down the Outer Ring Road. For Whitefield families we usually suggest online speech therapy for the weekly sessions, with the same RCI-registered speech-language pathologists you would see at the centre. You are welcome in person for the assessment, progress reviews or a block of more intensive therapy.
Yes. Our therapists run live, interactive video sessions of 45 minutes, built around your child's goals. After each session you get the home activities on your phone, and the therapist coaches you on how to use them through the week. Regular progress reviews keep the plan moving. Many Whitefield parents choose it because a weekly session fits around school, work and meetings far more easily than the drive.
The Phase 1 centre is about 30 km from Whitefield. The usual route is the Outer Ring Road south through Marathahalli, on past the Sarjapur Road junction, then Hosur Road into Electronic City. It takes about 50 to 60 minutes in normal traffic, and longer at peak hours. That is why we suggest online sessions for the regular weekly therapy and centre visits for assessments and reviews.
Our team works with children who have speech sound difficulties, expressive and receptive language delay, autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, sensory processing difficulties, stammering, voice difficulties and feeding or swallowing difficulties. The team includes speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, ABA therapists and special educators. Most of this can be done at our Electronic City centres or online.
For many speech and language goals it does, especially when a parent sits alongside and practises during the week. Some children, often the youngest or those who find a screen hard to attend to, do better in the room. The therapist will tell you honestly after the assessment which suits your child, and the plan can change later.
A laptop or tablet with a camera, a steady internet connection, and a quiet corner with a table. Your therapist will tell you which toys or picture cards to keep ready. For younger children, a parent sits with them for the session.
Fees depend on how many sessions a week your child needs and how many 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.
Tell us what you have noticed. We call back within one working day to plan the assessment and online sessions.
