Early Communication Therapy

The first three years of life are critical for developing communication, language, and social interaction skills. Early intervention can make a significant difference in helping children build the foundations for successful communication, learning, and relationships.

Speech Pathologist Kamini Jaganathan provides comprehensive assessment and evidence-based intervention for infants and young children (birth to 3 years) who are experiencing delays in communication, language, play, or social interaction.

Kamini supports children with a range of early communication difficulties, including:

• Limited or inconsistent response to sounds, voices, or communication
• Reduced eye contact, social engagement, or shared attention
• Delayed use of gestures, facial expressions, or other non-verbal communication
• Delayed babbling, first words, or early language development
• Delayed play skills, including symbolic and pretend play
• Difficulty understanding language and following simple instructions
• Limited expressive language or difficulty communicating wants and needs
• Reduced interaction with parents, siblings, or peers

Using play-based, family-centred therapy, Kamini works closely with parents and caregivers to support their child's communication development within everyday routines. Therapy is tailored to each child's strengths and individual needs, with the goal of building confident communicators through enjoyable, meaningful interactions.
