What is SLT?

Helping every child find their voice

Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) is a specialised programme that supports children who face challenges with communication — whether that's speaking clearly, understanding language, using words, or communicating through other means.

At Prottasha, our certified speech therapists use structured, evidence-based and play-based approaches tailored to each child's unique profile, interests and goals.

We work closely with parents to ensure that the skills learned in therapy are reinforced throughout the child's daily life at home and school.

FAQ

Common questions about SLT

Early intervention is key — ideally from 18 months if you notice any delays. However, SLT is beneficial at any age. The earlier therapy begins, the better the outcomes, as the brain is most "plastic" and adaptable in early childhood.

Sessions at Prottasha typically run 45–60 minutes for school-age children, and 30–45 minutes for toddlers. Frequency depends on the child's needs — most children attend 2–3 sessions per week, with parent coaching built in.

Many children benefit from a combination of therapies. Because Prottasha offers SLT, OT, ABA and AVT under one roof, our team collaborates to create a coordinated, holistic plan for your child — saving you time and ensuring consistency.

We set clear, measurable goals at the start and review them with you regularly. You'll receive progress updates after sessions and be taught home strategies so you can actively support your child's development every day.

Yes — our therapists are fluent in Bengali and English, and all sessions are culturally appropriate for Bangladeshi families. We use locally relevant materials and examples that resonate with your child's daily life.
