Doctor's advice:

• "Speech development is not just about therapy sessions—it’s part of everyday life! Play speech-based games with your child, expand their vocabulary through shared reading and discussions, draw, sculpt, and do puzzles—these activities activate language and cognitive centers. For adults, it’s beneficial to practice structured speech, analyze texts, and keep a personal journal. The key is consistency and a positive attitude!"
