Is this for my child?

  • Not combining words
  • Poor understanding or response
  • Frustration because the child cannot express needs

How long does it take?

  • Speech delay plans are often reviewed after 10-16 weeks of consistent therapy.

Is it safe?

Common questions

How much does therapy cost at DARC?+

Fees depend on the assessment, therapy frequency, and the support plan. We explain the recommended plan and cost clearly before parents commit.

Is the therapy safe for my child?+

Sessions are child-friendly and supervised by trained therapists. Non-invasive supports are recommended only when suitable and never presented as a standalone cure.

How quickly will we see progress?+

Some families notice early changes within weeks, while deeper developmental goals take longer. Progress depends on the child's profile, consistency, and home practice.
