Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the first appointment?
- Receptive & expressive language – age-normed formal language tests
- Articulation & phonology – PAT and pragmatic-skills forms
- Fluency – SSI (Stuttering Severity Instrument)
- Voice – perceptual analysis plus acoustic measures if needed
- Aphasia (adults) – WAB (Western Aphasia Battery)
- Informal play-based or conversation sampling to capture natural speech.
The findings are summarised in a written report with therapy goals.
How is progress measured after therapy begins?
- Re-evaluation every 3 months for most speech & language cases.
- Stuttering or voice disorders: a brief checklist is repeated every 4–6 sessions.
- Progress speed varies by severity and session frequency—clients who attend regularly and practise techniques at home make faster gains.
What are early signs that my child may need therapy?
Mis-articulation examples: “tat” for “cat”, “poon” for “spoon”, “te” for “say”. Dysphagia red flags: persistent drooling, food leaking from a lip droop at the corner. Seek an assessment if you notice these.
Which therapy approaches do you use for unclear speech?
Evidence-based options include Cycles Approach and Minimal Pairs Therapy, chosen to match sound-error patterns.
How do you work with children on the autism spectrum?
Common communication challenges include echolalia, limited social interaction, and not responding to their name. We apply a holistic programme combining communication boards/AAC, positive reinforcement, and parent coaching to build functional language and social engagement.
Is bilingualism the reason for my child's speech delay?
Learning two languages may slightly slow early vocabulary growth but does not cause a disorder. True delays show up in both languages and respond well to therapy.
Can adults improve speech after a stroke or reduce stuttering?
Yes. Neuro-plasticity supports recovery with targeted methods (e.g., Intensive Language-Action Therapy for aphasia, Camperdown for stuttering).
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No referral is required to book at RxDx, though some insurers may ask for one—our coordinator will guide you.
What can I do at home between sessions?
Follow the therapist’s daily practice plan (5–10 min), model slow, clear speech, and give extra response time—families who practise in everyday settings see faster results
What qualifications should a speech therapist have?
In India, a BASLP/MASLP degree plus RCI registration. Ms Nidhi Sharma meets these standards and practises exclusively at RxDx Whitefield.
How soon will I see progress?
Mild articulation issues may improve in 6–12 sessions; complex disorders such as apraxia or autism need longer. Consistent attendance and home practice accelerate gains.
