Still have a question?
Every child is different. Talk to our team and we'll guide you on the right next step.
Every child develops at their own pace, but delayed speech can sometimes indicate an underlying developmental difficulty. An early assessment can help identify the reason and guide appropriate intervention.
If you notice delays in speech, movement, learning, attention, social interaction, play or daily activities, it is better to seek an assessment early rather than wait.
Therapy may help your child develop important skills and become more independent. The type and frequency of therapy depend on the child's individual needs.
Possible signs include limited eye contact, delayed speech, reduced response to name, repetitive behaviors, difficulty with social interaction, unusual sensory responses or limited interest in social play. An assessment is needed for proper understanding.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition, not an illness that can simply be "cured." However, early and individualized intervention can help children develop communication, social, behavioral, learning and daily living skills.
Good understanding is encouraging, but delayed expressive speech still deserves attention. A speech and developmental assessment can help identify your child's communication needs.
High activity levels or difficulty concentrating do not automatically mean ADHD. A proper developmental assessment is needed to understand the cause.
Yes. Occupational Therapy can work on fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, visual-motor skills, handwriting and other skills needed for school and daily activities.
Learning difficulties can have different causes. Assessment can help identify the child's specific difficulties, after which remedial therapy or special education can provide targeted support.
No. Speech Therapy can also help with language understanding, pronunciation, fluency, social communication, voice and other communication difficulties.
You do not have to decide this yourself. A professional assessment can help identify your child's strengths, difficulties and appropriate therapy needs.
Yes. Some children benefit from a combination of therapies such as Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Physiotherapy, Behavioral Therapy, Remedial Therapy or Special Education.
Yes. Identifying developmental difficulties early allows appropriate support to begin sooner and gives the child more opportunities to develop important skills.
Therapy frequency depends on the child's needs, goals, age, condition and progress. The therapist will recommend an individualized schedule after assessment.
Yes. Parent involvement is an important part of successful intervention. Therapists can guide parents on activities and strategies that can be continued at home.
There is no fixed duration. Progress depends on the child's condition, individual needs, consistency of therapy and home support. Goals are reviewed regularly.
Yes. Therapy can focus on practical skills such as dressing, feeding, writing, communication, play, learning, mobility and other daily activities according to the child's needs.
Bring any previous medical or therapy reports, school records or assessment reports if available. Most importantly, share your concerns and observations about your child's development.
Yes. You do not need to have a diagnosis before seeking an assessment. Developmental concerns themselves are a valid reason to seek professional guidance.
