Speech & Language

Communication is a fundamental right. Speech therapy decodes the barriers preventing your child from expressing their inner world.

Speech & Language

Is this for my child?

If you notice these patterns consistently, a professional evaluation is recommended.

Delayed first words

Not babbling by 12 months, or no meaningful words like 'mama' by 15–18 months.

No joint attention

Not pointing to show things, or failing to follow your gaze when you point.

Hard to understand

By age 3, strangers can't understand at least 75% of what your child says.

Frustration meltdowns

Frequent meltdowns when trying to communicate because they can't find the words.

How speech therapy helps

SLPs work through play to lower frustration and build the foundations of communication.

Unlocking early communication

Focusing on prerequisites to speech — joint attention, gesturing, and vocal play — before pushing words.

Articulation training

If the brain knows the word but the mouth can't form it, therapy trains the exact oral-motor movements needed.

Alternative communication

For non-verbal children, introducing picture boards or tablets so your child always has a voice.
