If your 3-year-old isn't talking as expected, early assessment can make a big difference. Don't wait—early intervention helps children build strong communication skills.

🚩 Red Flags of Speech Delay Parents Shouldn't Ignore 🚩

Every child develops at their own pace, but some communication signs should not be overlooked.

🔹 Not responding to their name by 12 months
🔹 Limited eye contact or social interaction
🔹 No babbling by 12 months
🔹 No meaningful words by 18 months
🔹 Less than 50 words by 24 months
🔹 Not combining two words by 2 years (e.g., "more juice")
🔹 Difficulty understanding simple instructions
🔹 Loss of previously learned speech or communication skills at any age

Early identification and intervention can make a significant difference in a child's communication development.

If you have concerns about your child's speech or language skills, consult a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist for guidance.

Assalam o alaikum

I am a speech-language pathologist and aphasia therapist based in Islamabad, offering both online and in-person therapy services. I’m considering dedicating one day to provide free speech therapy assessments.

What do you think, fellow therapists? Should this service be completely free, or would it be better to keep a minimal fee
