Speech Therapy
Speech therapy is aimed at providing treatment, support, and care for children and adults who experience difficulty communicating, eating, drinking, or swallowing. As speech therapists, we work with patients and their parents or caretakers to achieve excellent results from our therapy.
Speech Therapy is planned according to their need, level of capability and other factors.
For Children
Right from birth, a child develops communication skills. Lack of communication skills results in inefficient social and academic skills. It is crucial that the problem be identified and treated as early as possible to make sure it doesn’t get worse and become more difficult to treat. Early intervention helps these children learn to read, write, speak, and improve their interpersonal skills.

Auditory verbal therapy
Auditory-Verbal Therapy is a specialized type of therapy designed to teach a child to use the hearing provided by a hearing aid or a cochlear implant for understanding speech and learning to talk. The child is taught to develop hearing as an active sense so that listening becomes automatic and the child seeks out sounds in life. Hearing and active listening become integral parts of communication, recreation, socialization, education, and work.
Special Education
Special education programmes are designed for those students who are mentally, physically, socially, and/or emotionally delayed. This aspect of delay, broadly categorised as a "developmental delay," signifies an aspect of the child's overall development (physical, cognitive, and scholastic skills) that places them behind their peers. Due to these special requirements, students’ needs cannot be met within the traditional classroom environment. Special Education programs and services adapt content, teaching methodology and delivery instruction to meet the appropriate needs of each child.
Cochlear Implants
A cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that can help provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. The implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin. An implant has a microphone, which picks up sound from the environment. Then a speech processor selects and arranges the sounds picked up by the microphone. A transmitter and receiver/stimulator receive the signal from the speech processor and convert it into electric impulses. An electrode array, which is a group of electrodes, collects the impulses from the stimulator and sends them to different regions of the auditory nerve. An implant does not restore normal hearing. Instead, it can give a deaf person a useful representation of sounds in the environment and help him or her understand speech.
