Expert speech therapy for toddlers and children with speech delay — helping your child find their voice at our Kharadi & Dhanori centres.
Speech delay is one of the most common concerns parents bring to Hope CDC. Your child may understand you well but use few words, be hard to understand, or not combine words when peers their age already do. In Pune, many families wonder: is this a late talker, or does my child need speech delay treatment?
Our speech-language pathologists in Kharadi and Dhanori assess where your child is on the speech and language timeline — and build a play-based therapy plan that meets them exactly where they are.
Early speech therapy can change a child's entire communication path. Read our parent guide: Speech delay in toddlers — signs & when to act.
