Need a pediatric assessment for my 4 year old boy having speech delay and behavioural problems in Mumbai

Hello Vijaysree Ji,

Feeling concerned when your child isn’t meeting certain milestones is completely understandable. At 4 years old, most children can speak in full sentences, follow instructions, and interact socially. So, if your son is showing speech delays and behavioural issues, it is important to check further.

Before moving ahead, you might consider:

• Have you already consulted a paediatrician or speech therapist?

• Has your child undergone any tests like a hearing evaluation, developmental screening, or autism assessment?

If not, the first step is a comprehensive developmental evaluation. This involves:

• A visit to a developmental paediatrician

• Possible assessment by a speech-language pathologist and a child psychologist

• Screening for conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or ADHD, if needed

In Mumbai, you can consider:

• SRCC Children’s Hospital, Mahalaxmi – trusted for child development and therapy programs

• Kokilaben Hospital, Andheri, has an advanced Child Development Centre

• Tata Memorial’s M(PCTRC), Parel – offers pediatric neuro and behavioural services

HexaHealth can help you book the right consultations, coordinate appointments, and check insurance eligibility to make this process easier for you.

Wishing your son joyful growth and progress ahead, early support truly makes a difference.
