Prayatna and the staff has been very helpful and effective for my son with speech difficulties. Joan and Minna ma’am worked patiently and wonderfully with him, and he has shown great improvement in attention, concentration, and comprehension. Every staff we spoke with have explained the therapy modalities very well with us and on how to work with him at home. Even though we did virtual sessions, it seemed very effective. They respond quickly to any questions in personal chats. Greatly appreciate their sincere work in his progress and I highly recommend Prayatna for pediatric therapies.

From my experience, the Speech Therapy Center is a wonderful place that offers a warm and welcoming environment. The therapists are knowledgeable, experienced, They take the time to understand each individual's unique needs and work with them to develop a personalized session plan that fits their specific requirements. One of the things I appreciate about this center is that they involve the family in the therapy process. They provide resources, support, and education to help the family understand the therapy and its goals. This makes the therapy more effective as it creates a team approach to helps the family to support the child at home.

My son had a learning disability and had difficulty recognizing words and struggling to read. However, when we learned about Prayatna, they provided him with counseling and support to help him overcome his difficulties. Ms.Meghna was a huge source of support for both my son and us. She was dedicated, patient, and supportive, and had great interactions with the children, understanding their problems easily. It's been 8 months now and we've seen a lot of improvements in my son's reading skills. He is very happy to attend their sessions and interact with the staff. Thank you, Prayatna Ernakulam, for your invaluable support!"

I'm glad that I choose Prayatna for my daughter who had a severe delay in her milestones as well as she was non-verbal. Within 3 weeks I started to notice a massive improvement in her overall performance. She started to observe more, she become more playful and attentive and her speech started to improve a lot. I would like to show my gratitude to Divya (Clinical Psychologist),Ayesha (BT),Sanjeev (OT) Neelambari (OT) and Vaishaki (ST). A team of excellent calibre that works like wonders within their limited period.

I am grateful to be a part of Praytna for my son's therapy. My son recieves support from praytna as he has speech delay as well as some sensory and behavioural issues. The therapists in praytna did a thorough assessment on my son and set goals accordingly. I was able to see significant changes in him within a short span of time. My son is still under the guidance of praytna through online coaching now. I am vey happy with his progress so far and special thank you to his therapists Anija(BT), Gayatri (OT) and Savitha (SLT) who come up with ideas that is perfect for my son and they treat him so well.I highly recommend Praytna to other parents who has kids with similar needs.

My son has been attending therapy sessions at Prayatna for 1 year. There is noticeable improvement in his speech and other areas. He wasn't communicating in words when we joined the center. Now he is communicating his requirements in words and even in meaningful sentences. We are fortunate to have Varsha (break the ice, enlighten him on how he could easily fulfil his wants through communication) and Akshaya (through her continuous efforts, make sure he is in the progressing phase, ensure standards are met) as his speech therapist.
