SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES FOR CHILDREN IN GREATER NOIDA

Language Intervention Therapy
Designed to enhance a child’s ability to understand (receptive language) and use (expressive language) spoken or written words. It addresses challenges like limited vocabulary, difficulty forming sentences, or trouble following directions. Techniques include storytelling, play-based activities, and direct instruction in language structure.

Fluency Therapy (Stuttering Therapy)
Focuses on improving the flow and rhythm of speech for children who stutter or have other fluency disorders. Techniques include teaching breathing control, slowing speech rate, and using specific strategies to manage moments of stuttering. It aims to build confidence and reduce anxiety around speaking.

Voice Therapy
Helps children with voice disorders, such as hoarseness, pitch issues, or vocal strain, to improve their vocal quality. Therapy includes exercises to strengthen the vocal cords, manage vocal hygiene, and reduce damaging behaviors like yelling or excessive throat clearing. It aims to create a healthy, strong voice.

Phonological Process Therapy
Targets sound pattern errors where children simplify speech sounds, such as replacing all “r” sounds with “w” or omitting consonants in words. It helps children recognize and correct these patterns through practice with specific word and sound combinations, leading to clearer and more understandable speech.

Pragmatic/Social Communication Therapy
Focuses on teaching children how to use language appropriately in social settings. This includes understanding conversational rules like turn-taking, staying on topic, using appropriate greetings, and interpreting nonverbal cues like facial expressions. It is often beneficial for children with autism.

Motor Speech Therapy (Apraxia and Dysarthria)
Designed for children who struggle with planning and executing the movements needed for speech due to conditions like apraxia or dysarthria. Therapy involves repetitive practice of sounds and words, along with exercises to improve muscle coordination and strength, enabling clearer speech.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Therapy
Provides non-verbal children or those with severe speech impairments tools like picture boards, gestures, or speech-generating devices. It enables them to communicate effectively while also working on verbal skills where possible. This therapy fosters meaningful interactions and self-expression.

Early Intervention Speech Therapy
Tailored for toddlers and young children, this therapy addresses developmental delays in communication. It focuses on foundational skills like babbling, imitating sounds, and using gestures or first words. Play-based methods engage children while fostering their language development.

Speech Therapy for Non-Verbal Children
Helps children who are non-verbal develop alternative communication methods, such as sign language or AAC systems. It also works to encourage vocalizations and word development if possible. The goal is to help the child express themselves in ways that are meaningful and effective.

Auditory Processing Therapy
Targets children who struggle to process and interpret sounds, such as following directions or distinguishing similar-sounding words. Therapy includes listening exercises, sound discrimination activities, and strategies to improve attention to auditory information in noisy environments.

Speech Therapy for Resonance Disorders
Helps children with nasal, muffled, or abnormal-sounding speech caused by conditions like cleft palate or velopharyngeal insufficiency. Therapy includes exercises to improve airflow and strengthen muscles used for speech, resulting in better voice resonance and clarity.

Speech Therapy for Literacy Development
Supports children struggling with reading and writing by improving their phonological awareness, such as recognizing sounds within words, and developing vocabulary and grammar skills. It bridges the gap between oral and written language for overall literacy enhancement.

Group Therapy
Speech Group Therapy involves structured group activities led by an speech therapist to help individuals develop or improve specific skills in a social setting. These sessions focus on enhancing communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, while addressing physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges.
