Language Intervention
(Receptive & Expressive)
Building vocabulary, comprehension, sentence structure, and functional communication for children with language delays — serving families across Rawalpindi, Askari, DHA, Adyala Road, and Islamabad.
Types of Language Disorders We Treat
Receptive Language Disorder
A receptive language disorder means a child has difficulty understanding language — following instructions, answering questions, or processing what others say. It can significantly impact learning and social participation.
Expressive Language Disorder
Expressive language disorder means a child struggles to express their thoughts clearly — using limited vocabulary, short sentences, or poor grammar. This may co-occur with receptive difficulties or present independently.
Late Talker vs. Language Disorder
Some children are 'late talkers' who catch up with minimal support. Others have a true language disorder requiring structured intervention. Our SLPs use standardised assessments to determine which applies to your child and design the right plan.
Language Development Milestones
| Age | Expected Language Skills |
|---|---|
| 12 months | Says 1–3 words; responds to own name; waves bye-bye |
| 18 months | Uses at least 10 words; points to objects; follows simple commands |
| 24 months | 50+ words; combining 2 words ('more juice', 'daddy go') |
| 36 months | 200+ words; 3-word sentences; strangers understand 75% of speech |
| 4–5 years | Full sentences; tells stories; asks 'why/who/what' questions |
* These are general guidelines. Individual variation exists. If you have concerns, contact us for a professional assessment.

Common Questions
My 2-year-old isn't talking much — is this a problem?
If your 2-year-old has fewer than 50 words and isn't combining 2 words yet, we recommend a language assessment. Early intervention before age 3 yields the best outcomes for late talkers and children with language disorders.
Can my child catch up without therapy?
Some late talkers do catch up, but research shows that children with true language disorders do not catch up on their own and benefit significantly from early, targeted intervention. An assessment will clarify this for your child.
How far is your clinic from Askari areas?
Our clinic is on Defence Road, Adyala — approximately 5–10 minutes from Askari 1, 2, and 3, and easily accessible from Askari 10, 14, DHA Phase 1–5, and Bahria Town via the main Adyala Road.
Do you assess in Urdu as well as English?
Yes. We assess children in their home language and understand that most Rawalpindi families communicate in Urdu, Punjabi, or a mix. Our SLPs are experienced in bilingual assessment and intervention.
