Community Training for Speech & Language Impairments – Cadabams CDC
If you are a parent who has ever wondered, “How can I help my child speak, listen, and make friends with confidence?”, community training for speech and language impairments may be the answer. At Cadabams CDC, our group programmes turn everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities, building communication skills that last a lifetime.
About Our Community Training Programs
Evidence-based curriculum for speech and language
Every activity we run is grounded in peer-reviewed research. We combine Hanen, SCERTS, and Social Thinking® methodologies into playful, age-appropriate sessions that strengthen articulation, vocabulary, and conversational turn-taking.
Age-specific preschool speech language tracks
We know that a two-year-old learns differently from a six-year-old. That is why each track is designed with developmental milestones in mind, ensuring every child feels challenged—not overwhelmed.
Social thinking groups that build real-life communication
Beyond words, children need to understand why we communicate. Our social thinking groups teach perspective-taking, problem-solving, and teamwork through stories, games, and role-play.
