How do I know if my child needs evaluation?

If you notice delays in speech, social skills, behaviour, learning, motor skills, or if your child is not meeting age-appropriate milestones, an evaluation is recommended. Early assessment helps identify developmental needs and ensures timely intervention.

Do you provide therapy services to very young children?

Yes. Pranaah Child Development Centre provides early intervention and therapy services for infants and toddlers. Early support can significantly improve developmental outcomes.

What should I do if I do not know which therapy is most appropriate for my child?

A comprehensive assessment is the best way to determine which therapy your child needs. At Pranaah, specialists evaluate your child's strengths and developmental challenges and recommend the right intervention plan.

Assessment is a structured evaluation conducted by qualified professionals to understand a child's developmental, cognitive, behavioural, speech, and motor abilities. It helps identify concerns and guides the therapy plan.

How long does an assessment take?

Most assessments take 45–90 minutes depending on the child's age, cooperation, and the type of testing required. In some cases, multiple sessions may be needed.

What do I need to bring for the evaluation of my child?

Parents are advised to bring the child's medical history, previous reports, school feedback, birth details, and any relevant documents. This helps specialists make an accurate developmental profile.

Can I bring other children to the assessment session?

For best results, it is recommended to attend the session with only the child being assessed. A quiet, distraction-free environment helps the therapist conduct accurate evaluations.

Should both parents attend the assessment session?

Yes, if possible. Both parents attending helps provide complete background information and ensures that everyone clearly understands the findings and recommendations.

Do I get a report after assessment, and can I submit it to my child’s school?

Yes. After the assessment, a detailed report is provided. This report can be submitted to your child’s school, paediatrician, or other professionals for support and academic planning.

How long is the assessment report valid?

Reports are generally valid for 6–12 months depending on how quickly your child progresses. However, if there are major concerns or rapid developmental changes, an updated evaluation may be needed sooner.

Will the therapist discuss findings with parents after the assessment?

Yes. After the assessment, the therapist will explain the findings, discuss your child's strengths and needs, and recommend the best intervention or therapy plan.

How to Enroll in Remedial Education for Learning Difficulties in Kollam & Kottarakkara

"He is smart, but he just can't write the answers." "She reads slowly and hates going to school."

As a parent, hearing that your bright, capable child is struggling academically can be confusing. Often, these aren't signs of "laziness" but of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) like Dyslexia (reading issues), Dysgraphia (writing issues), or Dyscalculia (math issues).

The bridge between your child’s potential and their performance is Remedial Education.

If you live in Kollam or Kottarakkara, you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Pranaah Child Development Centre offers structured, scientific remedial training designed to help children close the academic gap.

But how do you get started? Here is a simple guide on how to enroll your child in our Remedial Education programs.

How to Enroll in Remedial Education for Learning Difficulties in Kollam & Kottarakkara: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: The "Red Flag" Consultation (Phone or Visit)

You don't need a referral letter to reach out to us. The first step is simply sharing your concerns.

Contact Us: Call our dedicated helpline at +91 90373 47726 or +91 94460 10728.
What to Discuss: specific academic struggles. For example, "My 4th grader is struggling to read 2nd-grade text" or "His handwriting is illegible."

Our Locations:

Kollam: PIBSAR Campus, Thevally Market Junction.
Kottarakkara: Behind Brethren Hall, Pulamon.

Step 2: The Psycho-Educational Assessment

Before we can teach, we must understand how your child learns. We don't guess; we test. Once you book an appointment, our Clinical Psychologists and Special Educators will conduct a standardized assessment.

What we check for:

IQ vs. Achievement: Is there a gap between their intelligence and their school grades?
Specific Processing Issues: Is the struggle visual (reading) or auditory (listening)?
Co-occurring Conditions: Screening for ADHD or Attention Deficits that might affect learning.

Tip for Parents: Bring your child's recent school notebooks and report cards to this session. They provide valuable clues for our educators!

Step 3: The IEP Meeting (Individualized Education Plan)

This is the most important part of the enrollment process. Unlike a tuition center where every child learns the same thing, Pranaah creates a unique IEP for your child.

Based on the assessment results, we draft a roadmap that outlines:

Specific Goals: (e.g., "By March, Arjun will be able to read 3-letter words fluently.")
Teaching Methods: Using multi-sensory techniques (sand trays, audiobooks, visual aids) that suit your child's learning style.
Schedule: Deciding the number of sessions per week (usually 2-3 sessions for best results).

Step 4: Admission & Scheduling

Once you approve the IEP, enrollment is simple.

Paperwork: Fill out a basic admission form with your child’s medical and school history.
Slot Allocation: We assign a dedicated Remedial Educator to your child. We try to offer slots that fit your after-school schedule.
Parent Training: We show you simple techniques to support your child’s learning at home, so you aren't fighting over homework every night.

Why Pranaah is Different from "Tuition"

A tuition teacher re-teaches the syllabus. A Remedial Educator re-trains the brain. At Pranaah CDC, our multidisciplinary team (Psychologists + Occupational Therapists + Educators) works together. If your child’s poor handwriting is due to weak finger muscles, our Occupational Therapist steps in to help—something a regular tuition center cannot offer.

Don't Wait for the Next Report Card

Academic gaps tend to widen over time. The earlier we intervene with Remedial Education, the faster your child can catch up and regain their confidence.
