SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Our therapists help children improve their communication skills, including speaking, using words correctly, listening to others, and if necessary using alternative methods of communication. They also focus on improving articulation, language processing, feeding and swallowing issues.

At Nishta, our dedicated team of speech therapists are committed to supporting and empowering parents of children with communication disabilities and feeding disorders. Since communication is a vital skill that is essential for all children, we work closely with each child on a one-to-one basis to assess their strengths, and identify areas for improvement, and develop a personalized treatment plan based on the needs. In addition to one-to-one therapy sessions, we also offer group therapy to help children improve their social skills and interact more effectively with their peers.

Our team at Nishta specializes in helping children with a range of conditions, including
  • Speech disorders – difficulty speaking clearly or fluently, or issues with the voice.
  • Language disorders – difficulty understanding or expressing ideas, thoughts or feelings that includes issues with the form, content and usage of language
  • Social communication disorders – difficulty using appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication in social situations, such as greeting others, asking questions or talking appropriately in various settings.
  • Cognitive communication disorders – difficulties with memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
  • Swallowing disorders – difficulties with feeding and swallowing.
  • In addition to these conditions, our team of Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) also provide aural rehabilitation for children with hearing impairments and introduce AAC i.e., Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems for those with low verbal output.

    Speech therapy can be beneficial for children with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, neurological impairments, or speech and language learning difficulties. It can also be helpful for children who have feeding problems or picky eaters.

    If a child has difficulty with clear speech, a speech therapist may model proper pronunciation of sounds and syllables during therapy sessions. To improve language skills, the therapist may use interactive books, toys, and other activities that involve talking and playing. The therapist may also explain the strategies and activities used during therapy sessions to the parent or caregiver in order to facilitate better generalization of skills.
