Speech therapy is designed for children (and sometimes adults) who face challenges with communication, articulation, or language comprehension. It is not just for children who “don’t talk yet” — it also supports those who talk late, talk less, or talk unclearly.
Frequent Signs your child may need speech therapy:
- Does not speak as much as children of the same age
- Difficulty pronouncing words clearly or using correct sounds
- Stammers or repeats sounds frequently (stuttering)
- Trouble understanding instructions or following directions
- Uses gestures instead of words to communicate
- Has limited vocabulary or struggles to form sentences
- Has nasal or unclear voice quality
Speech therapy can also help children with conditions like:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Down Syndrome
- ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
- Cleft palate or hearing issues
- Developmental language disorders
At Global Child Wellness Centre, Ludhiana, our speech therapists conduct a detailed assessment to identify the child’s speech and language level, then design an individualized therapy plan focusing on both understanding and expression.
Best Speech Therapies for Children
Every child’s needs are unique — and so is their therapy. Our centre in Ludhiana provides the best speech therapy programs using play-based and interactive techniques that make learning fun and effective.
1. Articulation Therapy
This focuses on helping children pronounce words correctly by strengthening oral muscles and improving sound clarity. For example, a child who says “tat” instead of “cat” will practice tongue and mouth movements through targeted exercises.
2. Language Therapy
For children with limited vocabulary or difficulty forming sentences, language therapy builds receptive (understanding) and expressive (speaking) language skills. Therapists use storytelling, picture cards, and play-based learning to expand language comprehension.
3. Fluency Therapy (Stammering Treatment)
Stuttering or stammering can affect confidence. Fluency therapy teaches breathing techniques, pacing of speech, and relaxation methods to reduce tension and make speech smooth and natural.
4. Oral Motor Therapy
This therapy strengthens the muscles involved in speech — including the lips, jaw, and tongue — through playful oral exercises like blowing whistles, sucking through straws, or lip-pursing tasks.
5. AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)
For children who are non-verbal or minimally verbal, therapists introduce tools like PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) or speech-generating apps to support communication and expression.
Major Advantages of Speech Therapy:
Speech therapy goes far beyond helping a child “talk.” It builds the foundation for emotional, social, and academic success.
- Improved Communication Skills
Children learn to express their thoughts and feelings clearly, reducing frustration and behavioral challenges. - Enhanced Academic Readiness
Speech and language are key for reading, writing, and understanding classroom instructions. Early therapy improves attention and comprehension. - Boost in Confidence and Social Interaction
When a child is understood by others, their confidence soars. They begin to engage more in group activities, conversations, and play. - Better Feeding and Oral Strength
Oral motor exercises used in speech therapy improve muscle control, helping children eat and drink more safely and effectively. - Support for Parents and Caregivers
Therapists guide parents with home-based activities, pronunciation games, and strategies to reinforce progress outside the therapy room.
Speech therapy is truly propitious — meaning beneficial, favorable, and life-enhancing — when started early and followed consistently.
Importance of Early Intervention in Ludhiana
The earlier a child receives support, the faster and more effectively they improve. Early intervention — ideally between 2 to 5 years — helps the brain build strong neural connections for communication.
At Global Child Wellness Centre, Ludhiana, our early intervention program combines speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral support to ensure holistic progress.
Benefits of early intervention:
- Accelerated language development
- Better attention and understanding
- Reduced frustration and behavior issues
- Stronger foundation for school learning
- Improved parent-child communication
