What Our Speech Therapists Treat

Cadabam's CDC speech therapists work with children experiencing articulation disorders (unclear speech sounds, difficulty being understood), expressive and receptive language delays (limited vocabulary, difficulty forming sentences, trouble understanding instructions), fluency disorders including stuttering (repetitions, prolongations, blocks), social communication difficulties (pragmatic language challenges common in autism and ADHD), voice disorders, feeding and swallowing difficulties in young children, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for non-verbal or minimally verbal children.

Why Choose Cadabam's CDC for Speech Therapy in Bangalore?

Multidisciplinary Advantage

At many clinics, speech therapists work in isolation. At Cadabam's CDC, your child's SLP collaborates daily with occupational therapists, psychologists, and special educators. This matters because communication challenges rarely exist in isolation — a child with speech delay often has sensory processing needs, fine motor challenges, or behavioral components that affect their communication progress. Our integrated approach addresses the whole child.

Evidence-Based Methods

Our SLPs use validated assessment tools (CELF, PLS, GFTA) for accurate diagnosis and evidence-based therapy approaches including the Hanen Program for early language, PROMPT for motor speech disorders, the Lidcombe Program for stuttering, and structured social communication intervention for pragmatic language difficulties.

When Should You See a Speech Therapist?

It can be hard to know when a "late talker" needs an assessment versus more time. The clear indicators are:

Under 18 months — no babbling, no first word, or no response to name
By 24 months — fewer than 50 words, or not yet combining two words
By 3 years — difficult to understand even for family members, or limited two-way conversation
By 5 years — persistent articulation errors that affect schoolwork or friendships
At any age — sudden loss of words or skills, stuttering that is increasing rather than easing, or trouble understanding spoken instructions in class

You do not need a paediatrician's referral to book a speech assessment at Cadabam's CDC. Earlier is better — but it is never too late for therapy to make a meaningful difference.

What to Expect in Your First Speech Therapy Session

The first appointment is an assessment of about 60 minutes. Your SLP will play with your child using carefully chosen materials, ask you about milestones, hearing history, family languages, and current concerns, and run age-appropriate standardised tests. For very young children, much of the assessment looks like play because that is exactly how toddlers' communication is best observed.

You will leave with a verbal summary of findings, an outline of the recommended therapy plan (frequency, methods such as PROMPT, Hanen, or the Lidcombe Programme), and three or four practical strategies you can start using at home that week. A written report and goals document follow within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child needs a speech therapist?

If your child is not babbling by 12 months, has no words by 18 months, is not combining 2 words by 24 months, is difficult to understand by age 3, or is struggling with social communication at any age — a speech therapy evaluation is recommended. You don't need a doctor's referral to book an assessment at Cadabam's CDC.

How often should my child attend speech therapy?

Most children benefit from 1-2 sessions per week, each lasting 30-45 minutes. Children with more significant delays may need 3-5 sessions weekly initially. Your SLP will recommend the appropriate frequency based on your child's assessment.

What is the cost of speech therapy in Bangalore?

Session fees vary based on the type and duration of therapy. Contact Cadabam's CDC at +91 95355 85588 for current pricing. We also offer package options for families committing to regular therapy schedules.

Do you offer online speech therapy?

Yes. Cadabam's CDC offers online speech therapy sessions for families who cannot visit our Bangalore centers regularly. Online sessions are conducted via secure video call and are effective for many types of speech and language intervention, particularly for older children working on language, social communication, and fluency.
