Speech & Language Programs | Cadabam’s Child Development Center
Every child deserves to be heard. At Cadabams CDC, our developmental programs for speech and language impairments combine evidence-based practice with compassionate care so your child can speak, listen, and connect with confidence.
1. Program Overview: Developmental Speech & Language Support
What Are Speech and Language Impairments?
Speech and language impairments are difficulties in understanding or using spoken language to communicate. They may appear as:
- Limited vocabulary or grammar errors
- Unclear speech or difficulty pronouncing sounds
- Trouble following directions or telling stories
- Hesitant social interaction or turn-taking
Left unsupported, these challenges can affect literacy, friendships, and self-esteem.
Benefits of Early-Intervention Developmental Programs
- Neuroplasticity is highest between ages 2–7; targeted therapy rewires communication pathways faster.
- Stronger academic readiness through pre-literacy skill building.
- Stronger academic readiness through pre-literacy skill building.
- Reduced frustration at home and school, promoting happier family dynamics.
- Higher long-term independence in social and vocational life.
2. Types of Speech & Language Disorders We Treat
We specialize in the full spectrum of childhood communication disorders.
Spoken Language Disorders (SLD)
Children understand language but struggle to express ideas clearly. We focus on sentence building, story structure, and vocabulary expansion.
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
A persistent difficulty with both understanding and using language not explained by hearing loss or other conditions. Our language therapy techniques target grammar, comprehension, and higher-level reasoning.
Speech Sound & Phonological Disorders
Articulation errors such as substituting “w” for “r” or omitting final consonants. We use phonological awareness games and visual-tactile cues to sharpen sound production.
Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder
Challenges using language appropriately in social contexts—greeting, requesting, maintaining topics. Group training and social communication exercises teach turn-taking, eye contact, and non-verbal cues.
3. Our Evidence-Based Program Modules
We turn research into results through five interconnected pillars.
Comprehensive Screening & Assessment
- 90-minute multi-disciplinary evaluation
- Standardized tests (e.g., CELF-Preschool 2, GFTA-3)
- Parent questionnaire & classroom observation
Individual Therapy Sessions
Tailored 45-minute sessions target:
- Phonology: sound patterns and syllable shapes
- Morphology: verb tenses, plurals
- Semantics: word meanings and categories
- Pragmatics: greeting, requesting, storytelling
Group Communication Skills Training
Small groups (max 4 children) practice real-life scenarios—story-time, show-and-tell, and cooperative games—under clinician guidance.
Parent & Caregiver Coaching Workshops
Monthly 60-minute workshops teach home carry-over strategies:
- Visual schedules for daily routines
- Expansion & recasting techniques during play
- Positive reinforcement scripts
