"He'll start speaking on his own" — the advice that costs years
Every speech therapist hears the same story: a worried parent was told by relatives to wait, and arrived two years later than they should have. The truth: speech delay at age 2 is a signal, not a phase. The brain learns language fastest between ages 1–4 — therapy during this window produces results that are much harder to achieve later. If your child's speech worries you, the worry itself is reason enough to get an evaluation.
Every speech evaluation at Renuka Clinic starts with a hearing test — because undetected hearing loss is the most commonly missed cause of speech delay, and we are one of the few centres in Gandhinagar that does both under one roof.
What we treat
- Delayed speech & language — late talkers, limited vocabulary, not combining words.
- Articulation disorders — unclear speech, sound substitutions ("tar" for "car").
- Stuttering & cluttering — fluency therapy for children and adults.
- Autism spectrum & developmental delays — communication-focused therapy, parent coaching included.
- Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) — for children with hearing aids or cochlear implants, teaching them to listen and speak.
- Adult speech & language — post-stroke recovery, voice and fluency for professionals.
How therapy works here
- Evaluation — hearing test + structured speech & language assessment, with clear findings the same day.
- A plan with goals — specific targets ("50 words in 3 months"), not vague promises.
- Play-based sessions — children learn through games, flashcards and routines they enjoy, so they want to come back.
- Parents as partners — every session ends with simple home practice; what happens at home doubles the progress.
- Review & adjust — progress measured against goals, plan updated openly with you.
