"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.

Speech therapy flashcards and play-based learning materials at Renuka Speech and Hearing Clinic Gandhinagar

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.

Online speech therapy — anywhere in the world

Consistent weekly therapy with home practice is what actually shortens the total bill — call 88776 72821 for current clinic charges — no hidden fees.

A pattern we see often in clinic: a two-and-a-half-year-old "late talker" whose family was told by relatives to wait until age three. The evaluation finds a genuine language delay — sometimes with a hearing issue underneath — and once weekly play-based sessions and daily home practice begin, parents are usually surprised how much of the work happens through games at home.

At what age should speech therapy start?

Speech therapy should start as soon as a delay is noticed — there is no minimum age, and we regularly work with children as young as 18 months using entirely play-based methods. The brain learns language fastest between ages 1 and 4, so starting earlier is always easier and usually means less total therapy. See our guide: signs your child may need speech therapy.

How many sessions will my child need?

Most children attend 1–2 sessions per week, and the total number depends on the condition, the child's age and how consistently home practice happens — there is no honest fixed answer. We set measurable goals at the start and review progress against them every 8–12 weeks, so you always know exactly where things stand.

Do you give therapy in Gujarati?

Yes — therapy sessions at our Gandhinagar clinic run in Gujarati, Hindi or English, whichever language your child uses at home. Therapy in the family language works best, because the child practises words they will actually hear and use every day, and parents can join home practice naturally without switching languages.

Speech therapy vs waiting — what does research say?

Decades of research consistently show that early intervention beats watchful waiting for persistent speech delays — children who start therapy in the toddler years generally need less total therapy and catch up faster than those who start at school age. In practical terms, six months of waiting at age 2 often costs a year of extra therapy at age 5.

My child speaks Gujarati at home and English at school. Which language for therapy?

Start therapy in the home language — speech and language skills transfer across languages, so progress in Gujarati strengthens English too, and bilingualism itself does not cause speech delay. We run sessions in Gujarati, Hindi or English, and mix languages within a session whenever that helps the child most.

Do you give a written home-practice plan?

Yes — you receive a home-practice plan after every single session, usually 10–15 minutes of daily structured play designed to fit normal family routines. This matters enormously: parents who follow the plan consistently see roughly double the progress speed, because the child practises new skills every day instead of only at the weekly session.
