Aarav · 2 years 4 months
What worried us
No words at all, no pointing, and he did not turn when we called his name.
What we did
Hearing was cleared first, then a joint speech and OT assessment. Twice-weekly therapy with a daily 15-minute home routine built around bath time and snack time.
What changed
42 functional words and two-word phrases within 7 months. Now requests, refuses and greets independently.
“The first time he said 'amma' and looked at me, I sat on the floor and cried.”— Aarav's mother
