Speech-Language Pathology at Kites Child Development Centre

Because Every Child’s Voice Deserves to Be Heard

At KITES Child Development Centre (Kind Institute To Evolve Smiles), we believe that communication is the bridge to connection, confidence, and independence.
Our pediatric speech-language therapy services nurture every child’s ability to express themselves — whether through spoken words, gestures, signs, or technology — fostering meaningful relationships and functional success across all environments.

Using a play-based, strengths-focused, and research-driven approach, we address speech clarity, language comprehension, expressive communication, social interaction, feeding and swallowing skills, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) needs.
We specialize in supporting both verbal and non-verbal communicators, tailoring interventions to the child’s unique developmental path, sensory profile, and emotional readiness.

Beyond therapy sessions, we empower families with home strategies, caregiver training, and collaborative planning, ensuring that communication skills blossom across daily life.
Our interdisciplinary team works closely with pediatricians, occupational therapists, feeding specialists, and educators to deliver truly holistic, individualized care — supporting children with autism spectrum disorders, language delays, motor speech disorders, Down syndrome, ADHD, selective mutism, and complex medical conditions.

At KITES, every word, every gesture, every connection is a step toward confidence, inclusion, and a brighter future.
Because every child’s voice — in whatever form it takes — deserves to be heard and celebrated.

Why Families Choose Kites for Pediatric Communication and Feeding Therapy

Because childhood is a time for voices to emerge, connections to be built, and possibilities to unfold.
Because no child is too young, too complex, or too different to deserve a communication journey full of hope and success.

At Kites Child Development Centre, we believe:

  • Communication is a basic human right.
  • Feeding is more than nutrition – it’s connection, family, and growth.

Every child, regardless of their starting point, can achieve remarkable success with the right support.

At KITES Child Development Centre, our pediatric speech-language therapy services address critical developmental areas that build the foundation for communication, emotional regulation, feeding, and social participation.

Why Choose Speech Therapy at Kites?

  1. A Holistic, Collaborative Approach

At Kites, we believe in the power of multidisciplinary collaboration. Our speech therapy integrates seamlessly with occupational therapy, behavioral therapy (ABA), and psychological support, offering a well-rounded treatment plan that addresses your child’s speech and language development in the broader context of their overall well-being.

  1. Empowering Parents with Knowledge and Tools

We take a parent-centered approach, offering comprehensive training to families. Parents are not just observers but active participants in the therapy process. We equip them with practical tools and strategies, ensuring therapy extends beyond the clinic and becomes a continuous support system at home.

  1. Tailored Therapy, Backed by Evidence

Using scientifically supported assessments like REELS, Vineland Social Maturity Scale, and Speech and Language Developmental Checklists, we ensure that each therapy plan is uniquely designed to meet your child’s specific needs. This personalized approach means we target the exact areas that will make the biggest difference in their development.

  1. Building Communication Skills for Real-Life Situations

Our focus is on helping children develop functional communication skills—whether it’s improving speech, using augmentative communication methods, or mastering social communication skills. We aim to ensure that your child can effectively communicate with others, both in everyday activities and in social settings.

  1. Collaboration with Medical Experts

We don’t work in isolation. At Kites, we team up with pediatricians, neurologists, audiologists, and other medical specialists to gain a thorough understanding of any underlying conditions affecting speech. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of your child’s health are considered in their therapy plan.

  1. Leveraging Technology for Enhanced Communication

Technology is a powerful tool in speech therapy. At Kites, we incorporate assistive technology like speech-generating devices and communication apps into therapy. These tools provide children with alternative ways to express themselves, supporting those with speech delays or impairments.

  1. Social Skills Development

We put a special focus on helping children develop social communication and pragmatic language skills. Whether it’s understanding body language, interpreting emotions, or engaging in appropriate conversations, our therapy supports children in developing the vital social skills needed for real-world interactions.

  1. Early Intervention for Long-Term Success

We understand the importance of early intervention in speech therapy. Starting therapy at the earliest stage possible allows us to maximize the child’s developmental potential and prevent challenges from becoming more ingrained over time, ensuring long-term success.

  1. Alternative Communication Methods

For children who are non-verbal or struggle with traditional speech, we provide alternatives like sign language, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and AAC devices. These strategies give children different ways to express themselves and connect with others, promoting their independence.

  1. Therapy Spaces Designed for Engagement

Our state-of-the-art therapy spaces are thoughtfully designed with sensory-friendly features to engage children in speech therapy activities. With interactive tools, soundproofing, and a welcoming environment, children feel comfortable and motivated to participate in therapy.
