Speech-Language Therapy
Our Speech-Language Pathologists/Therapists (SLP/SLT) evaluate, diagnose and provide evidence based therapy for children with:
- Speech-Language Delay / Developmental Delay
- Social Communication Disorder
- Autism / Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
- Down’s syndrome / Other Syndromes
- Feeding / Swallowing Disorder

We strongly believe in Oral Motor Therapy. We are amongst the very few in Malaysia with all our SLP/SLT certified and actively practicing TalkTools™ Program during our speech therapy sessions. We specialize in working with non-verbal children with Autism to elicit the first word by using the TalkTools™ Approach.
Occupational Therapy
Our Pediatric Occupational Therapists (OT) evaluate, diagnose and provide evidence based therapy for children with Autism, Hyperactivity, Developmental Delay, etc. OTs focus on improving function in the following areas:
- Sensory Processing / Sensory Integration (e.g., attention, emotional self-regulation, organisation)
- Gross Motor Skills (e.g., jumping)
- Fine Motor Skills (e.g., handwriting)
- Activities of Daily Living (e.g., toilet-training, dressing, grooming)
In 2018, we became the first private centre in the Northern Region of Malaysia to have a Sensory Snoezelen Room.
A Snoezelen room is a controlled multi-sensory environment offering a range of tactile, visual, and interactive activities. It provides tailored sensory stimulation for children with Autism to manage sensory processing and prepare for engagement in meaningful activities.
Early Intervention Program (EIP)
EIP is an individualized intervention program for young children with developmental delays, challenging behavior, or learning difficulties. EIP provides intensive individual support in a therapeutic setting to develop essential skills needed to transition into mainstream schooling.
Covers development across 6 key domains:
- Cognitive Development
- Gross and Fine Motor Development
- Activities of Daily Living (e.g., toilet training)
- Language Development
- Social Emotional Development
- Pre-academic Development
Personal Learning Assistant Program
The PLA Program is a key supporting wing ensuring a smooth transition from therapeutic settings to real-life mainstream school settings. PLA pairs a trained professional aide with a child with special needs, supporting integration into a mainstream environment for the entire school day to foster independence.
Inclusive of:
- Multi-disciplinary IEP meetings with the school and family.
- Weekly Individual Intervention Sessions in our centre for academic revision.
- Weekly Social Skills Program based on Alex Kelly Talkabout™ Modules.
School Readiness Program (SRP)
