Is Your Child Struggling to Talk, Focus, or Keep Up?

Every child progresses at their own pace based on their developmental profile and individual needs. While some children may show improvements within a few weeks, others may require several months to achieve significant milestones. Progress depends greatly on consistent therapy attendance, active caregiver involvement, accurate information provided during assessments and follow-ups, regular home training, adherence to recommended diet and routines, and overall compliance with the intervention plan. Consistency across all these areas helps achieve the best outcomes.

The initial assessment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. It is a warm, play-based observation. Our therapist engages your child with wooden blocks, sensory boards, or speech triggers to check fine motor skills, hearing, and vocabulary. Simultaneously, we interview parents to understand milestones.

After the assessment, our team develops a personalized intervention plan based on your child’s strengths and needs. In some cases, a short observation period may be recommended for further evaluation. We then outline the required therapies frequency of sessions, and the most appropriate intervention mode to support your child’s development and progress.

At the end of each session, the therapist spends 5 minutes discussing what was practiced (e.g., focusing on colors or single letter sounds) and assigns simple, play-based exercises for you to practice with your child at home.
