Speech Therapy

How do you identify a child's speech problem?

Every child is unique. Each grows and learns at their own pace. From the moment a baby is born, there are several milestones like turning around, responding to light and sounds, co-ordination of hands and eyes, imitating sounds, and so on. The baby needs to constantly develop social & emotional skills, language skills, and communication skills through noises & gestures. Their cognitive abilities, such as responding to names & recognising people, are equally important, as are their physical developments, such as crawling, sitting up, and pulling themselves up to stand.

If you find a difference in your baby, such as a lack of response to sounds, lack of eye contact, difficulty recognising people, or a lack of communication, or in the case of older children, if they are not able to completely give attention to the conversation or find it difficult to understand or respond appropriately, it is important that you consult an expert.
