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.

Where to Find Child Development Centers in Kollam?

For parents in Kollam, noticing a delay in your child’s growth—whether it’s speech, walking, or social interaction—can be a source of deep anxiety. The immediate question is often, "Where can I find a reliable child development center near me?"

While there are several clinics in the district, finding a center that offers comprehensive, medical-grade support under one roof is challenging.

If you are searching for expert care in Kollam, Pranaah Child Development Centre (CDC) stands out as a leader in pediatric neuro-rehabilitation, offering a safe harbor for families navigating Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, and developmental delays.

Why Leadership Matters: The Pranaah Difference

In the field of child development, the experience of the clinical lead determines the quality of your child’s therapy.

Pranaah CDC is one of the few centers in Kollam operating under the direct guidance of Dr. Devi Raj, a Licensed Early Interventionist and Developmental Psychologist.

Why does this matter? Many centers rely solely on junior therapists. At Pranaah, Dr. Devi Raj’s leadership ensures that every diagnosis is accurate and every treatment plan is scientifically sound. Her background ensures that we don't just "treat symptoms"—we look at the whole child, integrating cognitive, physical, and emotional milestones into one roadmap.

A Multidisciplinary Team Under One Roof

Parents of children with special needs often face the "Therapy Run"—driving to one clinic for speech, another for physio, and a third for behavioral help.

Pranaah CDC solves this by bringing a complete Multidisciplinary Team together in our Kollam facility. Our integrated approach ensures your child’s therapists talk to each other, coordinating goals for faster progress.

Our Core Departments Include:

Pediatric Physiotherapy: For motor skills, balance, and muscle tone.
Occupational Therapy (OT): For sensory processing, fine motor skills, and daily independence.
Speech-Language Pathology: For articulation, language delays, and communication.
Behavioral Therapy (ABA): For managing challenging behaviors and building social skills.
Special Education: For academic support and learning disabilities.
