Find the Best Pediatric Speech Therapist for speech and language impairments at Cadabam's
If you’ve noticed your child struggling to pronounce words, follow directions, or feel confident talking with friends, you’re not alone. One in ten children in India shows early signs of speech and language impairments. The good news: early support from a speech therapist for speech and language impairments can turn these challenges into strengths. At Cadabams CDC, we specialise in evidence-based, family-centred care that helps children speak, listen, read, and connect—without ever feeling “different.”
What Is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is the science-backed process of assessing and treating communication difficulties so children can express themselves clearly and understand others with ease.
Speech vs Language: Key Differences
| Aspect | Speech (How we say it) | Language (What we understand & share) |
|---|---|---|
| Examples | Pronouncing “r” clearly | Knowing “r” means red or rabbit |
| Skills | Articulation, voice, fluency | Vocabulary, grammar, storytelling |
How Speech-Language Pathologists Help
Cadabams CDC speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are master-level clinicians who:
- Diagnose specific impairments through play-based assessments
- Design fun, goal-oriented sessions (puzzles, songs, storytelling)
- Coach parents on daily home practice—no extra degrees required
Common Speech & Language Disorders We Treat
Every child is unique, so our speech therapist for speech and language impairments tailors treatment plans to the exact profile below.
Articulation & Phonological Disorders
The child says “wabbit” instead of “rabbit,” or leaves off ending sounds.
Expressive & Receptive Language Delays
- Expressive: limited vocabulary, short sentences
- Receptive: trouble following multi-step directions
Stuttering & Fluency Issues
Repetitions (“I-I-I want”) or blocks that interrupt smooth speech.
Feeding & Swallowing Difficulties
Gagging on textures, pocketing food, or coughing during meals.
