Speech and developmental delay
When a child is behind peers in speech, thinking or skills, regular small-group work and individual sessions help: communication, attention, memory, logic and early learning skills.

When a child develops more slowly than peers
A child may start talking later, speak little or unclearly, find it hard to focus or not yet have skills their peers do. Doctors may call this a speech or developmental delay — or there may be no diagnosis yet, just a parent's concern. Either way, it's worth not waiting.
How we help
Speech grows where there's a wish and a reason to communicate. So children spend each day in a small group: playing, asking, negotiating, telling — and adults pick up every attempt. At the same time we work on what speech rests on: attention, memory, understanding and motor skills.
One-to-one sessions include play therapy, educational correction (attention, memory, logic, colours, shapes, sequences) and psychological support when a child is discouraged or afraid of mistakes.
For the youngest
If your child is under 4, look at early intervention — a free programme under Resolution No. 788. The team works with both the child and the family so new skills show up in everyday life, not only in sessions.
No diagnosis is needed for the first consultation — your question is enough.

A safe full day for children aged 3–10 who need constant support, guidance and a structured routine.
